Because there’s so much to see between the starting point on Boston Common and the end point at Bunker Hill, and because it was already so late in the day, I had told Ryan that we’d never be able to do the whole thing that afternoon, and that we should plan on picking up where we left off the next day. My friend Ryan and I set out on the Freedom Trail about 2:00 in the afternoon. (I’ll be posting some stuff about INHP eventually, too it was a long trip.) I don’t think there’s any other place where you can see so many important American Revolution sites in such close proximity to each other, except maybe Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia. As I said a few days ago, it’s a remarkable experience for any enthusiast of early American history. We’ll start with some highlights from the Boston Freedom Trail. I’ve been back home long enough to recuperate from two weeks of sightseeing, so it’s time for that most venerable of all end-of-vacation traditions: forcing a captive audience to look at your photos.
