All around Boston

We had free time all afternoon, and my group, which includes me, wandered around town.

I went to Paul Revere's house. He wasn't home.

Took a boat ride out into the harbor. Really cold. (I can't do links, but I can do italics).

I visited the U.S.S. Constitution -- "old Ironsides," even though it's wooden. It's a 200-year-old ship that was used to fight pirates representing the Barbary Coast Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. That's what I heard. It must have been stationed in Lake Mead. Went aboard, and it's a ship you expect Johnny Depp to be driving. They bring it out into the harbor once a year, probably in case Britain might want Massachusetts back.

Then I took a bus tour around town and drove past four burial spots -- three old cemeteries and the Fleet Center. Did you know Mother Goose was a real person? I didn't. She's buried here. The family name was Goose, it really was. Must be related to Rick Gosselin.
