Today we had planned to do The Freedom Trail walking tour with a guide dressed in clothing as in the time period we were going back into....while waiting to start our walk there in the square was this Christmas tree that had not been takin' down yet, I guess because of all the snow they had received since Christmas.
Still amazes me that a cut down tree is still alive and perky as ever...just doesn't seem fair. 
Below is our Freedom Trail Guide
The cemetery where many people in our history books are buried.
Normally you can go inside the grounds but due to snow and all still on the ground it was closed.
This is where Paul Revere is buried...in the very back in the middle of those 2 trees there is a white pillar between two round stones...that is Paul's grave.
And the grave of Samuel Adams
On the balcony of this building is where the Declaration of Independence was first read.
After our tour we headed out on our own to see in more detail things we saw on our tour and some things we didn't....along the the path I ran into this Red Coat outside The Green Dragon Tavern...a place our founding father's liked to hang out at.
And then the main thing I wanted to see...Paul Revere's home.
A statue of Paul Revere with the Old North Church in the back ground.
Inside the church
When we were done with our adventures we headed back to our part of Boston....on foot...it is a walking city.
We were so tired that Mike's became our dinner ...we had a pastry...we took a nap...we woke up...we watched a movie and ate the other pastry...It was a very good day.

This city is filled with history.

While walking we kept seeing people carrying these boxes that said Mike's Pastry.
We eventually came upon the store and Fonda said it must be a sign...so we went in and got our pastry.
The place was packed and when we left they were lining up right at the door.
