Massachusetts

Just in case you were wondering :-) Boston is yet another beautiful east-coast city! Really loved our time here, great people and once again, a lot of very interesting things to look at. Boston is often called the heart of the revolutionary movement that started the War of Independence in the 18th century, and on the walking tour we did of the historic part of town there was a lot of info about this period and before. Some old old buildings. Boston - go there!!

It was fabulous to see this memorial, we have read about the 54th Massachusetts Regiment many times during our Civil War learnings - it was the first all-Black regiment allowed to fight in the Civil War.

Lovely street in the historic part of town: Paul Revere, War of Independence 'legend', lived on this street.

Battle of Bunker Hill Memorial - site of a battle between the English and the 'Colonists' where the Colonists dug in and were told to hold their fire until they saw "the whites of their (English) eyes". A little close for comfort!
