Freedom Trail, Boston

We have arrived!  It is raining, we arrive at the Train Station at around 11:30 in the morning, grab a cab and head over to our hotel and what a hotel it was!  the Omni Parker, in the center of 'things' so to speak and FULL of history all by itself, I am told that JFK proposed to Jackie right there in the hotel, Ho Chi Minh was a baker at the Parker  1912-1913, Malcom X also had a job there, I believe as a busboy.  Just as a footnote...the Parker Roll and the Boston Cream Pie was also created here and the footnote?  Boston Cream Pie is NOT a pie, its more like a cake, I know, I tried it :0.  There are also many ghosts that still 'live' there, never saw any, but it was 'told', that sometimes the elevator would stop on the third floor for no reason.  Sean and I tried many times to will it to stop, and it didn't, until our very last trip on our very last day......someone else was checking out...oh well!

Back to the first day, we dropped off the luggage, decided to do some exploring before it got dark.  We ended up taking a 90 minute Freedom Trail Walking Tour.  The guide was amazing and played the part the entire time of a girl from the time period, then it began to pour, not drizzle, not rain, downpour.  She never lost a step, she continued with her oh so informative 'story', never, made us feel rushed (we were the tour, just the three of us).....We got soaked, she got soaked, but she was so interesting, you didn't really care, you wanted to hear all the stories, get all that information, she was AWESOME!  When she was done?  We went back to the hotel, full of great stories to dream about, after, of course, our piece of Boston Cream Pies, coffee and cocoa!  Sean also received that first night, some milk and cookies that the hotel sent to him, he was in heaven!!

Time for our sugar comas, tomorrow? Trolley time!

love to all

P.S.  No pics this day, WAY too much rain, even my purse and things inside were wet, I am telling you it was a NorEaster....lol  sideways rain.....
