We did a walking tour of Boston today ( Tuesday) at least the historic parts. The ol' legs ain't what they used to be ( neither's rest of the body). The first item to see was the frigate Constitution ( 1797 ). This is the oldest ACTIVE commissioned ship in the world. There is a ship in England which is older but in permanent dry dock. They have a neat idea here, you follow a thing called the Freedom Trail, which is a red brick line in the pavement that takes to all the historical buildings and areas etc. It also led past an Irish Pub that had real good beer ( Goody Glover's) It's named after a woman that was the first Catholic Martyr in Massachusetts The church that Paul Revere sounded the alarm of the British coming was as interesting visit as well
Sue was able to purchase a box of tea that is made by the company that had their teas thrown overboard, that started the War of Independance. This act was know as the Boston Tea Party
Tomorrow it's drive to a witch hunt, as we head to Salem from this campground .
