The second day brought more adventure. After getting a cup of Starbucks, I made my way to Boston Common and sat to enjoy my morning java and the scenary. After about a half hour, I took some photos and then headed for the Freedom Trail again. This time I found a free downloadable audio tour, which was great (and highly recommended)! After listening to the audio covering the things I saw yesterday, I headed on to the many sites along the trail, stopping at Quincy Market. After looking around the market for about an hour and grabbing some lunch. I headed to the North Marina and viewed the harbor and sat and listened to the ocean. It is just amazing!!Then back to the hotel for refeshing air conditioning and needed rest. Then off to Fenway Park for the Boston Red Sox game. The friendly ticket man sold me the seat for $50, which was brought down from $100. It was sweet at Fenway, to think that Yaz played there, Ted Williams once swung the bat at that very park. My seat was just behind the Angels dugout in General Admission. The Sox procedded to lose the game 10-4 and Schilling saw his first loss.After walking back to the hotel, I had logged almost 15 miles today!! It was time for some Buffalo wings at the sports bar alnong with a nice cold Sam Adams.I hit the sack about 12:30.

Arrived early due to bump up on the airplane flight, thanks to NWA!!Got into the hotel just fine and had an awesome burger for lunch. Then took a little break to unpack and then off to Boston Common where I walked around the park, it was a truly beauftiful afternoon! I then began the freedom trail walk with the MA State House and the Park St Church. Then off to the Granary, where Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and Paul Revere are buried to this day! What an amazing thing to see! To think that these men died and are buried here.I continued on the Freedm Trail and headed to the King’s Chapel and Burying Ground where the oldest known Puritans are buried. The temp hit 90 degrees, with a heat index of 92.So much more to see, but there are more days to come, thank goodness.
