Boston day two



We took a trolley ride around the town and a cruise on the harbour so we could check out places we did not see on our last visit six years ago. The downtown area has changed quite a bit in that time but it was good to see that plenty of the old familiar Boston architecture still remains.

We took 90 photos today! So it was pretty hard to pick which ones to post. But here goes:

1. Locks on the Charles River.

2 and 3. 2 is Starbucks with a gold teapot. In colonial days a tea shop would have displayed such a teapot to advertise its stock. 3 with ladies boot symbol.

4. Symphony Hall. Home of the Boston Pops Orchestra.

5. Typical of the old gas lamps in numerous Boston streets. They love their heritage here.

6 and 7. Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox baseball team.

8. ’Temporary’ performance hall still operating after 20 years.

9. Tobin Bridge. Longer than San Francisco’s Golden Gate. Note the two tiers of roadway.

10. Boston Fire Rescue boat.

11. Boston Skyline from the harbour.

12. Boston law courts
