Boston

After leaving Cape Cod we had a short stay in Boston before catching our flight to Washington DC.  I have to say, I was quite impressed by how tourist friendly Boston is.  Sure, it is terrifying to drive in downtown Boston but the city itself is perfect for tourists.  To get our bearings we asked our cab driver the one question I always like to ask locals: "If you were only in your city for an afternoon, what would you do?".  He responded by telling us that we should definitely do a harbour cruise to get a view of the Boston skyline.  We then did a little research (aka Googling) when we got to the hotel to see if there was anything else that we should do and stumbled upon an abundance of information about the Freedom Trail.  The Freedom Trail is a red path that runs through the city and guides people to major historic sites.  The path is laid into the sidewalk and makes navigating the sights absolutely foolproof!  I am so glad that with our limited time in Boston we were able to see so much thanks to the Freedom Trail and the Harbour Cruise!  All in all, a fantastic day in Boston!  



Love this!  A donkey with a 'Stand in Opposition' sign across from it.  Right nearby there was an explanation of how the Democrats got the donkey as their symbol and how the Republicans got their elephant.

So, if someone were to ask you what one thing you would do in your city what would you say?
