Boston, MA 6:30 am

Since this is my third week in Boston and I hadn't seen most of the historic sights yet, I decided to bring my camera and run along the Freedom trail. It's marked with a big red line, so I didn't get lost until I got to the end of it and then it didn't take long to get back on track.

I saw some good sights, Boston Common (I've run through there many times already), the Mass 54th monument from the movie Glory, Paul Revere's house and statue, the Old North Church (I wanted to yell "The British are Coming!" but there were people around), The USS Constitution and Bunker Hill. At the Constitution I stepped over a little fence and got yelled at by some sailors.

It was a short run, but took a long time because I stopped a lot and didn't run very fast.

Cool run, the Freedom Trail is interesting and fun to see all the history. Seeing the cemeteries in the middle of the town was just amazing!

Enjoy your remaining time in Beantown!
