Walk With Me in Boston-Part Two

Our adventure in Boston continues! As we step out of Quincy Market we saw people entertaining the crowds for money. This particular man plays three different instruments in spite of being blind!
We also ventured into this little shop that reminded me of a farmers market! But, I warn you its a little pricey for postcards 4 for $3! You could also buy fresh flowers, fruit and vegetables!
This was a familiar site in our adventures, tourists being guided by someone dressed up from the days of Paul Revere!
We finally arrived to the Old North Church, the place where they placed the lanterns to signal the British coming!
The church is still active today and when people meet for worship they still sit in these "rooms".
The balcony.
Front of the church.
Just behind the church you will find the famous statue of Paul Revere!
This house has an interesting story behind it. Its a Spite House.
A father left his two sons land. While one of the sons was at war, the other brother decided to build on the land (the brick houses) and left his brother a little land saying, "ha, he won't be able to build anything here!" When the brother returned from war, to spite his brother he built this house 9 feet wide!
And we will end our tour at Bunker Hill!
294 steps up into the monument, this is the view you will find!
Boston is so rich in history! I would love to go back and finish my own tour!
