Boston!

On our way down the coast to Boston we stopped at the lighthouse that is featured on the back of Maine's quarter.

Then..... 2 days in Boston! Visited Eli and walked the Freedom Trail, which is a trail around the city highlighting many of the revolutionary war sights. A lot of the old buildings are still in use, Boston has a policy of building reuse instead of just turning old stuff into museums. For example the old meeting hall where the declaration of independence was read out to the people of Boston still exists but now it is a subway station.

Here is a photo of the 3 of use pre-freedom, look at our sad confused faces.

On the trail we saw:
an old gravestone

Eli & donkey

The oldest pub in America, the Bell in Hand Tavern, opened 1795.



That night we ate some good Italian food in Boston's North End. Then the next day we walked around the Harvard campus for a bit. We also met up with one of Kate's former co-workers from the Adelaide Institute of Sleep Health (aka AISH) who is now a Post-Doc at the Harvard Medical School.

Here is a photo of some Harvard buildings.
