Boston

Well our string of beautiful weather finally broke today in Boston. It has been sunny, warm and clear every day of this trip until today. Today was cloudy, cool and a little drizzly, however in spite of that we had a wonderful day in Boston. We really enjoyed this city, and we both agreed that it would be a place we would like to come back to and spend more time. We started out the day going through the old Quincy town market, where we had wonderful pastry and coffee, and shopped for souvenirs, you just can't have too many T-Shirts. We then walked over to an area called the North End and Little Italy. This is the area where the Old North Church is, where Paul Revere signaled that the British were coming. It is also has an amazing collection of Italian restaurants and bakeries and espresso cafes. We both wanted to sample them all, but this will have to wait for another trip. We went through the Old North Church and a cemetery that had graves from the 1600's! Later in the afternoon we went on an organized tour and saw more of the city, including Cambridge, and a walk through Harvard which was truly amazing. If our Internet connection will cooperate today, I we will load a few pictures from today. They are of the Old North Church, the main gate to Harvard, Marlene, standing on the steps of the Harvard Library, another building with Harvard flags flying on campus, and finally a picture of a display of Marzipan in one of the Italian bakeries we went into today. We are now on our way to our final stop of this cruise tomorrow, Newport, RI.
