Boston. USA

Posted bypamlinesartPosted inArt

Before going to Boston all I knew about it was the famous Boston tea party. So the museum was a must see. December 16th 1773 the American colonists threw the many kilos of tea into the Boston harbour as the English had put taxes on it that were exorbitant. One Samuel Adam’s stirred things up and told Bostonians that there can’t be taxation without representation. ( history repeats itself).

Me throwing the tea in the harbour. Rebel that I am!! The symbol is of the East India Company.

The other thing I knew about Boston was that they had an amazing library. So we walked to the library.

I know!! How inspiring is that?

Then we entered the building!

The library
And again
They even have books!
And people studying

Across the street was the Trinity church. Cute and small against the towering skyscrapers around it.

The next day we visited the Boston Naval yard and checked out the USS Constitution.

Paul Revere’s house
And him and his horse.

We walked up Bunker Hill to view the monument.

294 steps up a spiral staircase to look out a little window up the top. Then 294 steps back down. No I didn’t do it.
Bunker Hill monument. Look what was happening up Bunker Hill.
Thousands of people doing Pilates. Puts Vivs session at the RSA Waihi beach to shame. 😂

That was Boston for us in a nutshell. Hang in there and find out where we will be next.
