Today was a day of touring Boston in summer weather (high 70's). Started out with a taste of Boston morning traffic as we headed from Braintree back into Boston.. Our first stop was to pick up our step-on guide Alan. He pointed out many historical buildings: Trintiy Church, the public library (first public library in the US), the Boston Marathon route, Christian Science Mother church among others. We stopped in Cambridge and walked for a half hour on the Harvard campus. Saw the MIT campus. Headed back to Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market for lunch. This time Chuck had lobster salad and I had spinach pie. Went upstairs in Faneuil Hall (the cradle of liberty) and saw Great Hall--a private meeting space for the citizens of Boston. Back to the bus and on to the JFK Presidential Library which was opened in 1979. It is set in the harbor, surrounded by water, and on the campus of the University of Massachusetts Boston campus. We enjoy Presidential Libraries and this one was no exception. After that we drove an hour and a half to Middletown, Rhode Island. Enjoyed colorful trees on the way here.
