Paul Revere and Old North Church

We had an uneventful flight from Lisbon to Boston. It rained overnight, but the next few days were unseasonably warm. It’s a good thing I dragged winter clothes across Europe so I would be prepared for the cold and snowy November days in Boston. So, I put my shorts on and we did the entire Freedom Trail. We took a free guided tour of the State Capitol and found it to be interesting and beautiful. 

                              

An entire park was decorated for Halloween

Bunker Hill Monument

                               USS Constitution - the oldest ship in the world still afloat


Courtyard at the Gardner Museum

The next day we went to the Gardner Museum. It the type of art museum you either love or hate. It had a great garden, but I didn’t like that you had to download a QR code for each room and then figure out which descriptions went with which pictures. Later we went to an Immersive Vatican show. They make the art and architecture of the Vatican come alive. Immersive Van Gogh and Immersive Monet are also available. Viewing tip, it is a 360-degree projection, so after watching the entire show switch seats to the opposite wall and watch the part you missed.

Is this a monument to beggars?

        The next day we flew back to Maryland. This time the Uber driver did not get lost.
