Today we headed to Boston on a tour called Boston for Little Feet. It was pouring rain and the tour guide gave us more of an art & architectural tour than a historical one...but we were able to see some of the key historical sites nonetheless.
After the tour, we decided to go to Lexington & Concord as there was a trolley ride and we could see many of the sites from the trolley. We then saw a movie explaining the ride of Paul Revere and how that started the American Revolution. It was quite informative and would have been nice to see first...before going to all the other sites we went to...but yet, a wonderful learning experience.
We slipped into the Louise May Alcott house but decided not to go in as time was quickly slipping away. Allison did enjoy getting some snapshots in front of the house where Little Women was filmed.
All in all, a great day.
Tomorrow we head to Niagara Falls!

This was King's Chapel...a real old bell in the belfry - recast by Paul Revere...no steeple, though. That little iron-fenced part in the graveyard (below the two pillars) is an air vent for the oldest subway in the U.S.!

Ah, the fall colours...just starting!
