We managed to walk quite a bit of the Freedom Trail yesterday. It was surprisingly warm and the streets were crowded both with tourists and with Bostonians. We didn't get as far as the USS Constitution, Old Ironsides, but that's where we'll start today.
Last night we only wandered as far as the adjacent Prudential Center and ate an appetizer-type dinner at Legal Seafoods. The clam chowder and fish chowder are as good as everybody says, and we also enjoyed some calamari, and an appetizer plate including sashimi, potstickers (the only less than stellar offering in our opinion) two large shrimp, and two small crab cakes. No, we didn't have room for the Boston Cream Pie.
We're going to check out early in a few minutes and catch the "T" heading toward the general direction of the ship, Haymarket or another nearby stop.
It looks like another beautiful day so off we go...
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
