Paul Revere's house

USS Constitution

Today we took the ferry from Salem to Boston. It was a lovely 1 hr ride across the bay and into the harbour downtown. We then took a city tour trolley and got off at many stops along the way.  In particular we enjoyed touring Paul Revere’s house and the US Constitution Museum. The whole area is seeped in British/American history of their battles. Boston is a quaint city and very easy to get around in. Of course we had Boston Clam Chowder and Lobster for lunch. Yummy! The city is right on the waterfront and there are lobster traps everywhere. The people here of course are still celebrating their win over the Canucks so we didn’t bother to mention where we were from. A lovely city and we really enjoyed our time here in New England. Of note : Lots of Woodchucks here. We see them as roadkill and also running around in the bushes of our campground.
