Where Everybody Knows Your Name!

Old North Church... "one if by land, two if by sea"

Boston has to be one of our favorite locations.  The people were happy and friendly and the city itself seemed well  maintained and intelligent (if a city can be intelligent).  We actually began our trip into Boston the night before when a waitress at a restaurant where we had dinner in New Hampshire gave us lots of good information.  She had lived in Boston in the past and instructed us about the correct subways  to ride and where and when to get on and off.  Her advice was great and after the D. C. subways, it was a piece of cake.

CHEERS!

We started walking the freedom trail (a red brick path through historic Boston) around noon and ended up at the U.S.S. Constitution around 4:30.  We passed the graveyard where Paul Revere was buried and on past the Old North Church.  There was history all around us.   We had walked about 3 miles to the U.S. Constitution and we were pretty tired so we took a water taxi back to a spot near Boston Commons and then walked on to Cheers.  It was well worth the walk.  Dad and I haven't had that much fun in a long time.  The beer was ice cold and the atmosphere was great!



After a day's rest in camp, we went on the Freeport, Maine.  It was a small New England town with lots and lots of great shopping.  Everything seemed very classy there.  Even the McDonalds was reserved and picturesque.  We probably spent too much money there, but had a great time doing it.  The next day, we took a drive out to the Atlantic coast so that Pete could have a fresh lobster.  We had a ball watching him eat the lobster he named Bob.

Well, that's it for now.  Dad wants to add another blog tonight.  Hope you are all happy and well.
