Today we were off to downtown Boston driving tandem with Carol. We experienced the MassPike—that would translate to fees for driving on highways. We found parking for about $15 on wharf near the Freedom Trail, which we were going to follow throughout downtown. We saw a cemetery, the Old North Church, the New North Church, Paul Revere’s house, Little Italy, and Faneuil Hall, dating to 1742, Marketplace.
Now off to try to find the bronze duck statues (in honor of the book titled Make Way for Ducklings) in Boston Common. One wrong turn and our journey turned to Plymouth Rock about an hour south but with traffic it takes much longer! Plenty of parking in Plymouth. The rock seems much smaller than expected, but as you read more about the rock, you learn that most of the behemoth is actually under the dirt. The rock is housed in a covered shelter near the shore. We looked from afar at the re-created Mayflower II. After seeing where some of our ancestors set foot in America, we were off to see parts of Connecticut where Brian served as a missionary. One apartment and church building later, we headed to North Brookfield.
