Paul Revere's house
A second look at Paul Revere's house. it's in the middle of Little Italy. it was kind of funny to find his house among millions of Italian restaurants.
More of the Freedom Trail and Little Italy. i would have spent more time in this neighborhood if i had it. it was totally adorable.
I can't get enough of the street views. it was a lovely day to walk around and sight see.
Honestly this was the landmark I was probably most excited about. i mean, everything was so cool to see in person, but the Old North Church is just so historical and iconic in my mind and throughout history. That's it below with the Paul Revere statue in the foreground.
Unfortunately it was closed for the day, i had really been looking forward to going inside. but it was beautiful from the outside too.
The gold plate marking the spot where the lanterns hung when Paul Revere placed them.
Random view walking back to the metro. Obviously just an empty field but with a cool view of the Boston skyline in the back.
That's the Freedom Trail. My phone unfortunately died the rest of the walk which includes across the bridge and to the Bunker Hill Memorial and USS Constitution. They are worth the extra mile or so to get to them and back to the metro.
it was such a great experience. i have a few more Boston related posts to share another day. Also, i wanted to say that there are plenty of companies that have tours that walk the freedom trail and are quite informative. i chose to walk it alone and had an app that was a huge help. both would be fine experiences i just feel the need to save money wherever possible and that meant a $20ish tour wasn't worth it. and i also get irritated in large groups of tourists. but it was great to walk it at my own pace, stop when i wanted to explore or visit a museum, or just stop for awhile and finish another time. Definitely worth a trip to Boston for the history alone, but there's so many other great things to see and do as well!
