Beacon Hill Boston


In the afternoon Gins friend Colleen took us on a walking tour of Beacon Hill and parts of the Freedom Trail. The streets were so charming with bulbs flowering the tiny front courtyards and in window boxes. The houses were built mostly of brownstone bricks. Colleen lives in one such house. Here unit is the former dining room of a mansion. In this room there is a living room, tiny kitchen, bathroom and mezzanine bedroom. The ceilings are so high that all of this can fit in. We walked over to Faneuil Markets. There was a very moving holocaust memorial there. Nearby were fruit and vegetable markets, and then food and rather traditional touristy trashy markets. We wandered back over the Boston Common to our hotel.
