Freedom Trail

July 8, 2016

Today we took the subway from our hotel in Somerville into bison. It's only 4 stops to the center of town. We followed the Freedom Trail. It's a red brick path in the sidewalk that leads you to different historic sights. 

Along the way, we stopped at the Parker House Hotel to have a piece of Boston Cream Pie at the place where it originated. We saw Paul Revere's House, Feneuil Hall and Quincy Market. 

We had lunch at The Green Dragon.  It's a place where Boston revolutionaries used to meet and Paul Revere's ride was planned there. I had a lobster roll. 

There were many other interesting stops. We saw printing done with a colonial era press and a chocolate drink made. We sampled that one. It was delicious. 

In the evening, we went to the Cheers bar and had a sandwich and a drink. 

We didn't get back to the hotel till after 9:00. We walked over 9 miles - a tiring, but very interesting day.
