We've always wanted to see some of Boston's historical landmarks and what better way than to partake of the Freedom Trail. It was a drizzly day with temps in the 50's as we walked 3 miles to visit such sites as the Cradle of Liberty, Faneuil Hall (circa 1742), where Sam Adams, James Otis and others spoke encouraging independence from England. We also were thrilled to walk the bridge over the Charles River to Bunker Hill and visit the Old North Church and the old graveyard where Paul Revere and other patriots are buried. In the afternoon, we visited Harvard University and took a student-guided tour to learn about life as an undergraduate and were lucky enough to participate in the "quintessential" experience of dining at the perfect pizza restaurant, Pinocchio's. We were told that this place has the best pasta in the Boston area and we had to agree. The next day we boarded our flight to Punta Gorda. Great vacation!
