Day 2 in Boston

After a full day on Wednesday, we ended up with another full-on day on Thursday.

In the morning we set off to see the bit of the Freedom Trail that we ha missed in Charlestown which sits over the river from Boston.

We started at the Bunker Memorial commemorating one of the most important battles of the War of Independence. It's an obelisk with a spiral staircase up the middle. Coming down seemed harder than going up!

Then down to the dock to visit the USS Constitution, the oldest warship in the world still afloat apparently. We had a great guide who took us around the gun deck - he obviously loved his job. Then a quick trip on the ferry back to Boston where we booked an outing out to the Boston Harbor Islands, a state park.

It was great value on a perfect summer day.
