Boston - Newton - Concord - Lexington - Westford - Thursday, July 24, 2014

We had to go into Boston today as Beth had a business meeting.  During the time she was having her meeting I took a walk along the Boston Harborwalk.  While I was walking I saw Fleet Street and started walking up it.  I then came to Hanover Street, one of the oldest in Boston and an original Indian pathway.  This lead me to Paul Revere Mall  here are some of my photo's:

Behind this Paul Revere statue is the Old North Church

At the entrance to the Old North Church is a Memorial to all the troops of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars who lost their lives in service to our country.

Of course these are all on the Freedom Trail

Below are photo's of Copp's Hill Burying Ground, in downtown Boston.

From Boston we went to Newton to visit a college friend of Beth's - Cindee LaCasse (Middlebury).  From here we drove through Lexington famous for being the site of the first shot of the American Revolutionary War, in the Battle of Lexington on April 19, 1775, as the "Shot heard 'round the world. when news spread about the revolution.  We also went through Concord, quite historic!

On our way to visit Beth's other friend from Middlebury College, Elaine Nickerson in Westford we stopped at Kimball Farm as we had to get ice cream for Michael.  He swears this is the BEST ICE CREAM in the WORLD!  We bought, Vanilla, Chocolate and Peach!
