MERRY CHRISTMAS FREEDOM TRAIL & CALEB STICA!!

 Caleb was a great tour guide on our way into Boston! He took us through a beautiful graveyard with a pretty view of the skyline that is right next to his apartment.  He then navigated us to Boston using public transportation...very gracefully I might add :-)

 Seth and Caleb posing as Harvard students....not really but that is what it looks like. I asked Seth as we were walking through the campus..."What do you think the average IQ is here?? If they could only just share some of those IQ points...they don't need them all they are plenty smart!"

 It is destiny I was supposed to go to Harvard...right?!?! :-)

 This is where Franklin's parents are buried.  Caleb said that this graveyard looked like your classic Halloween spooky graveyard due to the fallen over gravestones and crooked markers.

 This was one of the first pupits I think....something like that.

 People would have to rent these church cubicles each year, they were made for different size families and they had high walls to keep the cold out. Some families would bring heaters to keep feet warm and their pets to church.

 FREEDOM TRAIL!! This is where the Boston Massacre began...and the Declaration of Independence was read from the balcony of the State House.

 BEAUTIFUL HUGE Christmas tree...what a treat!

 Boston Skyline

 Paul Revere's House...this part of the Freedom Trail was so quaint. It reminded us of Old Quebec.

 I was craving my STARBUCKS EGGNOG LATTE all day and finally I got one and it was perfect.  Caleb and I sat and drank our coffee ( he gave in an got a peppermint latte even though he isn't a big fan of coffee....however he was pleasantly surprised about the Christmas wonderfulness that holiday flavor of coffee gave his taste buds). We talked about Christmas traditions and what we usually do for Christmas and what people in Africa do...he just got back from a two year Peace Corp assignment in Africa teaching science.  So of course I was peppering him with tons and tons of questions!!!!

I wore the WRONG WRONG WRONG pants that day, because it RAINED RAINED RAINED all day and the wide leg jeans dragged (due to my short Robinson legs) and yes by the end of the day I was soggy from the KNEES down....I was ready for dry socks and pants!!!
