Live from Boston... it's THURSDAY NIGHT - Part 2! :)

Well... I didn't get a chance to blog last night, so I thought I'd do two tonight.  Easier to read that way.  Today was a great day!  The weather's been great, which is awesome!  Although, it all gets hot at some point!

We crawled out of bed at 9:30am ET today - man - we were tried after yesterday!  Between the early AM wake-up call and the late game, it was a long day!  It was nice to sleep in!

The subway here is called the "T" and super easy to use.  The people we're staying with gave us a free access pass - so that has been very helpful for getting around. 

We started with the freedom trail today.  There were some boring parts and some awesome parts. :)  The amazing thing about old architecture to me is often the ceilings.  They're complete works of art in and of themselves.

Nick.  The building behind him is the location of the Boston Massacre.  Nick said that during it's day this building was a presence and would have dwarfed all other buildings around.  Or something similar to that... :)

 

This girl walked in front of us for some time... I could not make sense of her shirt... unless it was suppose to be a joke, it was a terrible translation... at the very bottom it says, "A man wan two warches is never saure time."  I'm assuming it should have said, "A man with two watches is never sure of the time."  There are a couple other sentences on her shirt that were unknowable.  :) 

 

Nick took this picture of me in front of Paul Revere's house, didn't look at it and said it was good.  lol.  ha.  It was almost completely black on the camera.  It was actually brighter on the computer, so there's that...  Paul's house was pretty tiny!  But it seemed nice.  Also, it was way bigger than the house John Wayne was born in... which some how seemed weird to me... why was John Wayne born in such a small house?

 

The "Freedom Trail" follows this path all through town.  Here's a snap shot of the red line we walked most the day!

 

The U.S.S. Constitution was awesome!!

 

 

 

View from one of the portholes on the ship.  Also, the water in the area is FILLED with Jellyfish!!  That was awesome to see to.  It's unbelievable. 

Bunker hill.  We climbed all 294 steps to the top of that thing.  I don't recommend it.  My legs were shaky for hours.  We did get to listen to a guy talk on his cell phone up there tho!  Who calls someone and says, "they just want to catch up" after climbing 294 stairs!?!? 

View from the top!

 

Well!  That's all folks.  This doesn't seem like half of what we did - but I think it's the highlights. :)
