Bye Bye Boston
Boston is a beautiful city. Like everywhere else we have visited we wish we had more time. We did a circuit on the Hop on Hop off Trolley first thing this morning and discovered that Boston is rich with history. Paul Revere did his famous "the British are coming" ride from here. Benjamin Franklin lived here, we visited many historical sights and grave yards. John F Kennedy was born here and we visited the house he was born in. It has been made into a museum and restored to how it looked when JFK lived there as a young boy. We also visited Paul Reveres house which has also been restored to look how it was when he lived there and raised 12 children to two wives. He bought the house in 1770 and lived there for 30 years. Harvard University is here. We caught the trains here, which are more like buses and go above and below the ground. The weather has been perfect. We had dinner in an Irish Pub and dragged our tired bodies home to have an early night because we have to be at the airport by 7.00am. We are off to Niagara Falls!
