Boston, MA: Boston Strong.

Boston... I truly loved this city... my favorite out of all the ones I have traveled to so far.  I hope that I will be back, often, because I felt like I was home here.  These are my kind of people.  Gotta get to know you more Boston.  :)

I added my prayer.  I did not have any ribbon, but I had some string that I had wrapped around my watch and wore all summer. 

Cambridge, MA

The home of Harvard University and lots of history.  

Harvard statute- local legend, if you rub his shoe, you will get some of his vast knowledge.

Harvard library- the largest collection of works besides the Library of Congress.

 The Lampoon House... inspiration for all the National Lampoon movies.

A book sale, run on the honor system.  The Honor System Book Sale, to be precise.  Been running for years, with one theft, and the thief was chased down by locals. 

An installation of JR's Inside Out

Boston, MA: Freedom Trail!!!

Boston holds a ton of history within in city, and loves to share it with visitors... so much so, that they created the "Freedom Trail" which is essentially a red line that leads you to all the major historical portions of Boston.

                                           

Someone's video log of the trail.

Here is the link to the map: http://www.thefreedomtrail.org/maps/pdfs/boston-nps-map.pdf

  The starting point

  

You can take the trail to the USS Constitution...

Across the Charlestown Bridge...

To the North End and the Old North Church...

Down to Faneuil Hall and the Quincy Market

To the Old State House and the Site of the Boston Massacre...

To the Old South Meeting House....

To the Old City Hall....

State House and Cemetery where Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and Paul Revere are buried...

To the Park Street Church, and ending at Boston Common....

There is so much more to the trail, of course, but this is what I have room for :)

And our randomness...
