On Sunday, we walked the Freedom Trail, and of course started with the USS Constitution - Old Ironsides.  The Constitution is the oldest US Navy ship still in commission.  No trip to Boston can be complete without going aboard the Constitution.

Here's the gang amidships.

Son of a gun.  I'm quite a BIG SHOT around here!

We also visited Paul Revere's house.  It was build in 1680 and hasn't succumbed to urban redevelopment yet.

We also saw the Old North Church where they hung the lanterns that got Paul started on his famous ride.  One if by land, two if by sea.  Which was it???

Here's Paul out front showing how he did it.  Unfortunately, the sun was right behind him and the church got washed out.  But if you find any tourist brochure for Boston, it will probably have this shot in a better light.

Here's the steeple from the angle that probably Paul probably saw.

 

On the way back, we stopped to see some of the street performers in Quincy Market, right next to Faneuil Hall.  Here's Wacky Chad riding his big wheel and small wheels.
