Freedom Trail, Boston

Favorite thing: Walk the Liberty Trail. The trail takes you past many historical buildings and sites from the US Revolutionary War and the founding of the country. Start before the tail begins at the Boston Tea Party ship and then go on the trail.

Fondest memory: The bars and touring the USS Constitution. Old Iron Sides is the oldest commisioned warship in the world and is still maintained and sailed by the US Navy.

Favorite thing: You should definately walk the Freedom trail. There is so much history, but be sure to wear you walking shoes. If you're looking for a little peace don't miss a stroll through the Boston Common. This is a great place to meet the natives of Boston. If you like to shop then I recommend visiting the Downtown Crossing. Lots of great shops and reasonably priced. If you want a view of the entire city vist the observatory. What a spectacular view.

Fondest memory: My fondest memory of Boston was when my fiancee flew up to visit me and we took a Sunset Cruise of the historic Boston Harbor.

Favorite thing: Walk the Freedom Trail into Charlestown. Visit Bunker Hill, the actual site of the American Revolution, where the battles with the British were fought. There is a giant tower at Bunker Hill in which you can climb. There are 294 stairs before you get to the top. It's like climbing a castle tower, except much more taller, and you can only go up or down. Once at the top of the tower, there are several small windows which give you a beautiful panoramic view of Boston and Cambridge. For more pictures, check out my Bunker Hill travelogue!
