Sorry, I've been a complete slacker. I took it for a little history tour around Boston and a little around the Cape.
I didn't get to as much as I hoped, but the day I did it I had to move out of my apartment, so I got a little side tracked.
Sturgis Library, the oldest building housing a library in the country, which is right down the street from the 2nd oldest courthouse in the country. Religion was also practiced in it, so its also the oldest structure that is still standing in America where religious services were regularly held.
So James Otis lived down the street from me. You might remember his phrase "No Taxation without Representation," as well as him being a Patriot of the revolution.
So about that World Series you were bitter about John, thought you mike like this picture.
On a statue of Ted Williams, in front of Fenway Park, oldest ball park 1912.
My friend in front of
Faneuil Hall. "The Cradle of Liberty" Old marketplace in Boston, and sight of many speeches from various Patriots before and during the Revolution. Big tourist spot now.
Boston Latin, you can read the description for yourself.
The State House on Beacon Hill. This is the building Matt Damon keeps staring at across the way in The Departed.
For anyone who has seen the movie The Boondock Saints, this is the Copley Plaza hotel, where the badass hotel scene happens.
Swan Boats in the Boston Gardens. You'll recognize this if you have seen Good Will Hunting.
Boston Duck Tours
The old State House building. Unfortunately it was undergoing renovations, which kind of ruined the picture. There is a plaque in the ground where that truck is to mark the spot of the Boston Massacre.
I no there is no plate, but I thought this picture was pretty cool. Its the John Hancock tower, the glass panes kept falling out when the building was first opened.
While walking around, students from Emerson college were in the Commons playing Quidditch, the flying game from Harry Potter. Tons of people stopped to watch, it was actually pretty fun to see. They all had to hold a broom in one hand while running around.
