During my tour of Boston, I visited the
Old North Church. If you walk through the alley on the side of the church and proceed to the gardens behind the church, there is a lovely court yard. At the far end, there is a statue of
Paul Revere who had made his imfamous ride after seeing the lanterns in the church steeple.
I like this perspective because it links both Paul Revere and the church in the photograph just as they are indelibly linked in history.
With the way the trees have grown, it almost feels like he is blazing a path on his horse to alert the surrounding towns and villages.
As I was touring Boston and walking the Freedom Trail, we made our way past Faneuil Hall. There has been a market place and meeting hall there since 1742. It is a very large building considering the time period in which it was built - it was rebuilt in 1762 after a fire.
During my trip to Boston, my friends took me on a walking tour through the city. One of the things they pointed out to me was the Freedom Trail. The Freedom Trail is a 2.5 mile red-brick walking trail that leads you to 16 nationally significant historic sites.

This past weekend, I visited Boston. My lovely host took me on a walking tour of the city. One of our first stops was the Old North Church. The church was made famous for being the place where the "One if by land, two if by sea" signal that sent Paul Revere on his famous ride.
