Boston Part 2

On Wednesday we started our day at Bunker Hill.  We were going to walk up to the top of the monument, but we found that it is closed for some renovations.  Cool to see though and imagine the battle that took place in this area.  We needed a place to eat lunch, so Matt looked on Yelp to see what is close by.  A place called Warren Tavern popped up, so off we walked through the neighborhood a few blocks.  We go inside, get seated, and then find out that this is a historic tavern built in 1780.  It was visited by George Washington and Paul Revere!  So glad we stumbled upon this little place to eat and rest our feet.  The food was super good too! Emma and Matt had fish and chips, and I ordered a yummy bbq bacon hamburger. 

We did the most touristy thing one can do in any city... we took a Duck Boat Tour!  We had never done this before, but somebody had told me that it's a good one in Boston.  And it really was!  It drove us around the city and gave us all kinds of great info about it.  A great overview and prequel to our walking tour we would be doing in a couple more days.  Then we became a boat and floated in the Charles River.  It's always fun to view a city from the water, and this didn't disappoint.  

Our touring day ended with eating cannolis from Mike's Pastry in the grass in front of the Harvard Library.

It was a long, tiring, fun day.
