First Stop - Beantown!

Just arrived in Boston Monday afternoon.  Spending most of the week here.  Such history and wonderful architecture and fun nooks and crannies to seek out in this, one of the nations oldest cities!  Met up with my friend, Lisa, then walked around the downtown area.  Today, I took a splendid bike tour with Urban AdvenTours all around the downtown area of the city.  Luckily, there were not many tour-seekers at 2:00pm on a Tuesday, so I got my own private tour!  Weather was gorgeous - in the 70's - and a nice breeze blew off the water.  Definitely, the best way to explore this great town!
