2008-10-04 - Boston

We are back in Boston and the weather is good.  We took a walk through some parks and old streets...

to the Granary Burying Grounds.  

Here we found the tombstones of Ben Franklin,

Paul Revere, 

John Hancock, 

and Mary Goose, wife of Isaac Goose.  They are people of no great fame (she is not Mother Goose) but we loved the tombstone (and the names).

During our walk around town we also saw the Boston State House,

the Old North Church (of Paul Revere's ride fame),

the Old South Meeting House,

St. Stephens Church, 

and King's Chapel.

We also found a statue of Paul Revere.  

We also saw Boston's "Revolutionary Militia" out on maneuvers. 

We did a lot of walking today and really enjoyed finding all of the places we learned about in our history classes way back when.
