Today in Boston we walked the Freedom Trail. This historic walk traces the events leading
up to America’s revolutionary birth and its founding as an independent nation.
The trail is marked with a row of red bricks and extends for
6 km. It is well signposted and there
are many old examples of colonial architecture along the way.
We looked churches from the 17th century, meeting
houses and graveyards. We toured Paul
Revere’s house and by the end of the day were totally exhausted so we caught
the Metro to the site of the Boston Tea Party.
This was very touristy but quite entertaining.
At the end of the show, we visited the tea house and had the
worst cups of tea we have ever drunk. I
think the Americans should stick to coffee!

Mmmm Oysters, I know how much you love them :-)
What a fascinating trip you are having. But you need to teach the Americans that water for tea needs to be boiling not just out of the hot tap (or the harbour).

Anyone for an ale? Only if it's your shout :)
