Well, our friends Bill and Dan came to Boston today (from Salem). We played tourist and did some of the Charlestown attractions. Below is a photo log our our adventures. Our first goal was to climb the Bunker Hill Monument, but since it’s nearly 300 feet tall and has no elevator, it was closed due to a medical emergency (paramedics had to climb the stairs to get to the exhausted person).
So, we toured the U.S.S. Constitution (AKA Old Ironsides). This is the oldest continuously commissioned war ship in the world (it was built in 1798). We then climbed Bunker Hill (again) and then climbed to the top of the Monument (built in the 1840’s). After climbing to the top, I can’t help but wondering how the hell those workers carried those heavy grante stones 300 feet into the air without a crane (or Superman).
Anyway, it was quite fun – I love doing touristy stuff like that.

“> This is the view you get from the top of the Bunker Hill Monument. As a side note, The Battle of Bunker Hill actually didn’t take place on Bunker Hill. Apparently, they were on that hill but thought it was this one. If you look right across the water near an old rusty bridge there is a brick building and then some green floors above it – that building is our condo building.

“> This is the view of the Charlestown Navy Yard (the U.S.S Constitution is the boat with the tall masts towards the center/right of the photo) and Boston Harbor.
These pictures came out really cool when actual size. You could see lots of detail. But I had to reduce them to fit on this page so a lot of the detail is lost. Oh well.
