Boston continued our US history lesson and also turned out to be a city that we really enjoyed.
Things started off well with a stop at Plymouth Rock and our first of many lobster rolls that we would consume while travelling up the East coast.
We spent the next day walking around Boston discovering the historic sites along the 2.5 mile Freedom Trail, which is a red line that winds its way through downtown and north side Boston. Pete gave us a great recommendation on an Italian restaurant “La Famiglia” and it managed to feed us for both dinner and lunch the next day. How anyone can eat that much food in one sitting is beyond me!
We learnt pretty quick that Bostonians were direct and too the point, but they were also friendly at the same time. A Bostonian saying that I overheard and will remember for some time to come was “I want @#%*ing all of it, with change!” They are like rough diamonds really.

Nature flourishes, even in the city. Dan took these pictures of the hawk at the same place the above night time photo of the city.
In short, we loved Boston. We weren’t quite sure what to expect of the city as neither of us had been there before but we were both pleasantly surprised. It has great people, great food, great architecture and is really easy to get around. There is plenty to do and we would definitely go back if the opportunity arises,......in summer of course as the winters would be too cold for us.
