Freedom Trail

We headed out this morning for our walking tour after having breakfast at Mike & Patty's.  This is the outside, and the inside...the whole inside including the kitchen, was about the size of our dining room.  We had a couple of tasty egg sandwiches and then walked to Boston Common to start our walking tour.



We then saw the following sites and took these pics!  And by the way, it was about 48 degrees and WINDY.  Brrrrrrrr...
  • Boston Common
  • Massachusetts State House
  • Park Street Church
  • Granary Burying Ground
  • King's Chapel and Burying Ground
  • Old South Meeting House
  • Old State House and Boston Massacre Site
  • Faneuil Hall
  • Paul Revere House
