Day 3 - Boston

Today was a big day - we had lots to squeeze in, as well as a long commute.  There are no campgrounds close to the city centre, so we are staying about 30 miles away, although from the looks of the traffic everywhere we go, our commute isn't all that unusual.


First stop was Copley Square and a look inside Trinity Church - an unusual intimate interior, and many beautiful things to look at, particularly the windows:







Next was the Boston Public library







and then we followed the Freedom Trail, a historic walk and introduction to colonial revolutionary Boston.  Our American history is now 200% better than it was!




Paul Revere's house




We finished with dinner in the North End, then the long-ish trek "home" 11 hours later.  We've only got 2 days in Boston, so we have to make the most of it.  After this, it's all small towns too, so there's no risk we'll run out of steam.
