Boston - this city is really nice (in the touristy areas at least). It is a big city with a small town feel. The streets are tree-lined and the landscaping is gorgeous! It almost feels like you are on a movie set - especially when you're in Beacon Hill. Boston Common was wonderful! Lots of benches and shade made for good people watching! There was also a huge wading pool for little kids called the Frog Pond. What a fun thing to do with kids for free! There was also a lot of historical things to do around town, such as walk the Freedom Trail. We walked a good portion of it and even eavesdropped on other people's paid tours with a tour guide dressed in Revolutionary War period clothing! We saw where Paul Revere and Samuel Adams were buried and also lots of historic churches. We veered away from taking the entire trail and watched the same street performers who were in Battery Park when we got engaged in NYC. How do we know they were the same? Their routine and what they said to the crowd was the exact same!! We also made our way to the Esplanade for the 4th of July with the Boston Pops. What a nightmare!!! It might look nice on TV but there were too many people and not enough places on the lawn! We quickly left and waited on the lawn in Boston Common to see a few fireworks before taking the late train back to Maine.
