On Saturday we headed to Downtown Boston to try to go sailing. The wait was two hours and we just didn't feel like waiting that long so we opted to go to wander around the North End instead. We stopped by our favorite place, Mikes Pastry's and got ourselves some canoli and brownies. So yummy! It was such a nice day that we had to take advantage of the beautiful Spring weather. Look at the trees they are no longer barren.
We also made a trip to the Old North Church. The signal lanterns of Paul Rever displayed in the steeple of this church April 18, 1775 warned the country of the march of the British Tropps to Lexington and Concord. One lantern meant the troops were coming by land and two lanterns meant they were coming by sea.
I am constantly in awe of all the history Boston has to offer. I'm not sure why I enjoy going to the old cemetery's so much, but they are just so cool looking. I wonder what it was like for people to come to this "new world" and lay a foundation for our country.
(I also thought this was a cool picture and maybe Terese would be impressed with my photography skills. I still want lessons Terese!)

I really struggled living in this area for the first 4-5 months but strange enough over the winter I fell in love with all this place has to offer. As Annie put it, "I think I'm gonna like it here!"

It's kind of sad: from these photos, you would never know that I was there that day. I feel like the ghosts who are always helping Christian, but must remain invisible.
Nevertheless, a good time was had by all!
that canoli was the best!
we had a great time with ya'll - even if we didn't get to sail.
Mmmm....Mike's Pastries... I may just have to hop on a plane and come visit you!
Cool pics... I wish I lived in Boston, I love that kind of stuff.
Miss you guys.
So cool! I love living in history too. Fun to catch up with you electronically - maybe we'll have to catch up in person one of these days!!!
Okay, so I think I want to fit everything in that you have ever posted about in my two day stay...can we arrange that!?
Oh MAN! I can't stop saying that I am SO jealous of you guys! Our favorite bakery in the North End was Bova's (open 24 hours!) and I loved the Butterflies at the Science Museum, too.
You luckies!
