The Second Day of the Boston Trip

Today I left the hotel room, being extremely tired from not sleeping the night before. We went to Fenway Park and we had been assigned to a very crazy tour guide. He made me laugh a few times, but for the most part I was a little scared of him. He did teach me a few things about the park though: everyone who has played at Fenway Park has signed a certain (hidden) wall and that Fenway Park is the home ballpark of the Boston Red Sox. Besides the guide, the park was enjoyable, yet I am not really interested in sports such as baseball. I would have much rather gone to an ice rink in Boston, but Fenway Park was fine.

Afterwards, we walked The Freedom Trail. This was fun because I am very interested in the time period during which Paul Revere and the rest of the founding fathers lived. I loved seeing The Old North Church. It was exciting to hear that one of the lanterns, which Paul Revere hung, had not been found. I also learned that The Old North Church, originally named Christ Church, is the oldest church to still be in service in the Boston area.

Quincy Market

Today we also went shopping at Quincy Market. I learned that Quincy Market was named after Josiah Quincy. He put together this shopping area, prohibiting taxes on all of the commodities sold in the market. I am not sure whether taxes are still prohibited in the marketplace today or if the market is still run how it was when it was first built.

Afterwards, we visited Boston University, which I did not like. Nothing at this school interested me and the tour guide did not do the school any justice. Information on Boston University can be found by clicking HERE.
