Freedom Trail
Freedom Trail Reviews
 Jul 22, 2006Might be a hot hike in August, but if you've never been to Boston the Freedom Trail is a must! Head for Boston Commons and begin following the trail of bricks (two bricks wide). If memory serves it is a bit over two miles...and since you are on foot you need to return! Your trek will be rewarded with an astonsihing variety of history --- everything from Paul Revere's house and the Old North Church to Ben Franklin. You even plod over the site of the Boston Massacre (and it wasn't until my second time that I realized it is marked in a little traffic island in the middle of the street!). At the end is the USS Constitution and the Bunker Hill Monument. Hopefully you have saved enough energy to climb the steps to the top of the Bunker Hill Monument --- you are rewarded with a splendid view that really has you visualizing that first day of the revolution. Makes for a splendid half-day adventure and really sets an appropriate tone for your stay in Boston! |

We woke up early, and I was very surprised to find that sunrise wasn't until 7:15 am. Back at home it's light by that time, so I think my body was confused that I was up but it was still pretty dark outside.
