Boston (Legal)

Boston was a great city. Naturally, as with most decisions we had made throughout this trip, we decided to visit Boston on (yet again) the coldest day in New England in the last 50 years. Nonetheless, we endeavoured to see all this great city had to offer.

The most fabulous thing about Boston in the “Freedom Trail”. It’s a perfect sight-seeing route for all tourists. Starting at the information centre in Boston Commons, the trail allows followers to walk throughout the city of Boston and view all the famous landmarks and history points this city has to offer.

The trail is comprised of two red bricks laid side by side which forms the line which must be followed throughout the city. The entire walk is about 3 hours, and once you’re done you feel like you’ve really “seen” Boston.

At the end of the day, we took a little break in a place where everybody knows our name… yip, THE original CHEERS pub.

CLINK!

Well, that was Boston... what's up next?
