Doing the Freedom Trail

October 9th, 2008

When you ever come to Boston, the Freedom Trail is one of the top attractions. This mostly bricked path winds its way through downtown Boston and connects 16 historic sights. The 4km (2.5 mile) long path starts at the Boston Common and ends up in Charlestown, at the Bunker Hill Monument, right across the Charles River.
We did the whole thing and had a lot of fun during this sunny day. Here are some pictures:
