First things first:
Smo my friend.. :nono: ...it's ChowDAH.
Now that we have that out of the way.. :grin:
MinnieBall1, and all:
There's a walking tour of the North End that will take you to several great spots if you aren't going to be there long enough to get out of downtown.
If you can get out...DEFINITELY. make it out to Lexington and Concord. It's a short drive.(The British Army walked out there one fine evening from downtown...of course the trip back wasn't so pleasant for them) I've been fortunate enough to have visited Boston A LOT, while my mother was living there.
At Lexington, there's a granite monument on the Green at the spot where the line of men stood on April 19,1775, waiting for the most powerful army in the world to come down the road to confiscate their weapons. Standing there, early in the morning before traffic starts can be a powerful experience. The bridge at Concord is another incredibly powerful place for Americans to visit. It can be argued that the firefight at Lexington was "an accident" in that Captain Parker didn't intend for there to be a battle though one was initiated by "The Shot Heard Round the World".
At the bridge on the other hand...the local patriot militias had gathered specifically to tell the British army not just no...but H*LL NO. The fighting there was absolutely intentional. no "mysterious accidental" shot.
I apologize for getting so "wordy" but there's so much there, of such significance that I get carried away.
btw: while you're up there, try to get yourself a plate of fried WHOLE BELLY clams. mmmmmm!!! :bow:
