I have lived in Quincy my entire life and I never really explored Boston. Today was awesome. I walked for hours following the red line from the Common to Charlestown. It made me think back to Venice, Italy and Paris, France when I got to just go out and walk those streets for hours on end. It was truly a good day. I had my trusty new Iphone with me so I was able to rake pictures along the way.
I jumped on the T at North Quincy and headed to Park Street where I would start walk. 
The walk to me through the Common to the Statehouse
From there I went by the Park Street Church

Then to the Granary Burying Ground, King’s Chapel and Burying Ground and to the sight of the original Boston Latin Schoolhouse.

I went by the Old Corner Bookstore to the Old South Meeting House and then to the Old State House. (lots of Old on this tour)

The Old State House was the first museum I went into. After that I went to Fanual Hall and Quincy Marketplace where I had a nice lunch of fish and chips at Cheer’s. A funny sidebar.. I ran into my brother on the way here. He was driving down State St in his company Van. We were both amused by the chance encounter.

After Faneuil Hall I made my way to the North End and paid a visit to Paul Revere’s house, which I walked through (I’m surprised it wasn’t named Old Paul Revere’s House), and the Old North Church.

Now it was time to cross the Charle’s River in Charlestown. I made my way to the Bunker Hill Monument and just like I had to climb to the top of the Arch de Triumph in Paris, I had to climb to the top of the Bunker Hill Monument. All 294 steps.

The last stop on the Freedom Trail was the USS Constitution which is unfortunatly closed on Mondays.

By now my feet are feeling a bit tired. I made my way back across the Charles River to the North End to Maria’s Pastry Shop.

After picking up a half dozen cannoli’s I went around the corner and got myself a vanilla gelato cone.

After that delicious cone I went to the nearest train station and headed home. It was a good day. It looks like I’m going to ba having a very nice vacation.
I already have the rest of the week planned out. Tomorrow I’m going to the New England Aquarium and I’m going to see 2 iMax movies, Under the Sea and Star Trek. Wednesday I’m going to see Blue Man Group, Thursday is going to be spent at the Museam of Science and Friday I’m going to check out Pliymouth Plantation and the Mayflower. After all that I’m going to spend a few days in Eastham with the folks.
That’s enough for today.. I need a nap.
