We have been to Boston a few times over the past 30 years and witnessed significant changes. We saw the big dig that built tunnels under the city to remove the elevated freeway sections and to put parks where the roads ran. This time we have seen the redevelopment of the dock areas into a modern neighborhood. Wonderful!
We took a guided tour of historic areas and Cambridge where Harvard & MIT are located.
Lot of stories here, tea party, massacre, Paul Revere, bunker hill, undefeated USS Constitution - it's a lot more complicated than what's told. The Constitution is interesting, 18th century frigate still on active duty. It has to sail several times a year and does so, not just a museum piece.
This is Harvard, very nice spot in Cambridge.
Just across the river is Copley Square with the library, Trinity Church and the old glass Hancock Building which was a build beset by massive problems including subsidence of nearby buildings. The glass reflects beautifully though.
Set sail late, captured the ship when quiet and a UFO landing at Logan.
