Beautiful Boston


One of the highlights of our time in Boston was The rather cringingly named  (as a British person) Freedom Trail. You follow a red brick trail in the pavement around the old city centre, visiting various sites associated with the Boston Tea Party and the struggle against British rule (sorry about that).This is the Old State House (complete with lion and unicorn) from the colonial days. The typical buildings of old Boston are classical style in red brick and there are many gracious neighbourhoods, old churches and atmospheric graveyards. It was really fun following the trail and I would recommend it and Boston very highly. The whole city was compact, friendly, attractive and quite European.
