Boston

Today our workshop to a quick trip to Boston. And by quick, I mean the pace we kept. It was a long day beginning with a walk from our Inn to the Concord Depot at 9:00, and returning more than twelve hours later.

Boston is a town made for walking and that's what we did. in the course of the day we saw: Copp's Hill Cemetery, Old South Meeting House, the North End, Boston Harbor, Quincy Market, Faneuil Hall, Old State House, Old South Meeting House, King's Chapel, the Old Granary and Boston Common. Our tour was led by Dr. William Fowler of Northeastern University. And after we saw all that, we visited the Massachusetts Historical Society were we able to view some original documents from the Revolutionary War era.

One of our participants recommended Gennaro's for dinner. The food was great, (I had the chicken saltimbocca) but the service was slow. Part of that was the fact that our group was so large, but I don't think they're overly speedy.
