The only problem is it rained about half the time I was there. However, I did not let that stop me. While nearing ruining a pair of shoes and almost catching pneumonia, I walked all over Boston, checking out the sights.
*Harvard--What a great place. The whole area and much of Cambridge is a great place to simply walk and take it all in. Unfortunately for me, my time at Harvard is when it rained the hardest. Therefore, I have almost nothing in the way of pictures. However, I was able to snap this picture while under an overhang. The picture doesn't do it justice because Memorial Hall is beautiful:
*Nooks & Crannies--It seems to be a universal lesson in travel, all around the world that things you find most interesting during your travels are not the things you set out to see and experience . . . but the things that you find along the way, such as this little gem at 17 Milk Street:
Now that being said, there are plenty of things worth your time and energy to see in Boston, like . . .
*The Old State House--You have to pay to go in to see the good stuff. But I just enjoyed seeing how it has been preserved amongst the newer architecture and buildings. It was here that the Declaration of Independence was first read:
*Paul Revere Statue & Old North Church--Boston has its share of statues, many of which are great. This particular view in the Paul Revere Mall is of note because of the view in the foreground of the church from whose steeple the lanterns were seen by Revere, telling him that the British were coming:
*Boston Common--No matter what time of year it is, this city park is great to walk through:
*Be Aware!--Not of crime, of which we witnessed none during or stay, or anything like that. But be aware of your surroundings. Boston is such an old, well-preserved city that breathtaking views are literally all around:
