Freedom Trail in Boston

We walked the Freedom Trail in Boston. It's about two miles and there's some pretty cool stuff. Even though it's two miles, it takes about 6 or 7 hours to walk. There's a large graveyard along the way where Sam Adams, John Hancock, the parents of Ben Franklin and the five victims of the Boston Massacre are buried. Almost every tombstone has a picture of a skull with wings. It looks creepy but it it's not. The picture means that we die, but have the hope of resurrection and heaven. We also went to the site of the Boston Massacre (building pictured above with gold lion and unicorn on the rooftop). We ate lunch at Ye Olde Oyster House and sat at John F. Kennedy's favorite booth. This is the oldest continuously operating restaurant in the country. After lunch, we went to the Old North Church and saw the statue of Paul Revere and then went in the church. In the old days in Boston people didn't sit in chairs during worship. They sat in something like a hockey penalty box. They sat in the penalty box to stay warm. I was really tired at the end and Dad gave me a piggy back ride to Regina's, a great pizza place in the Italian part of Boston.
