Boston

boxed text

Kinda out of place:
As I was walking around Beacon Hill I spotted a couple of well dressed people standing on the corner - even to my untrained eye they looked out of place. I asked the postman I met further up the street, and he told me they where the secret service guarding John Kerry's house.

I was in Boston as part of my second around the world trip - and it's a very nice city, one of the oldest in the United States.

I got a guided tour of the state house, and even managed to make it in to see the finance bill being debated!

The Prudential Tower

I took the "Freedom Trail", a walk that covers a lot of Boston's historic sights - most of which are connected with the patriots "kicking out" the Brits! There's Paul Revere's house, build in 1680, the oldest wooden building in Boston.

I took the trip up to the top of the Prudential Tower, to get some great views across Boston, and onto Cambridge.
