Boston -- Batch #2


 Inca musicians

 A crowd had gathered at Quincy Market awaiting the arrival of a celebrity...Ellen de-something or other.

 Lovely old merry-go-round

 The Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge, quite beautiful.
Google it for better pictures.

 A glimpse of Old Ironsides

 Unicorn on top of the Old State House where the Declaration of Independence was first read out to the people on July 4, 1776. Nearby is the site of the Boston Massacre.

The Bunker Hill Monument. This and the three pictures above it were taken from the trolley.There wasn't enough time to see everything in Boston--that would require weeks--but this narrated tour showed us many things and the drivers were very entertaining. The ticket was good for two days, so we went on the tour twice, getting off and on at different places.

Looks like you had a good time in Boston, I went there a few years back with the girls for a weekend. This fall we are doing NYC again
