Freedom Trail and Food!

For one of our first ventures into the big city, we decided to walk the "Freedom Trail". The trail is a walking tour of all of the historic sites in Boston from the Old South Church to the Bunker Hill memorial obelisk, and many more. Of course, Matt (a history major in college) ate it up. I loved being able to see so many facets of the city. The trail takes you backward in American history while also being surrounded by the modern art and architecture of a developed city. We stopped in Little Italy at Mike's Pastries and had one of their famous canolis! It was UNbelievable--a crisp pastry tube filled with sweetend ricotta cheese and chocolate chips! And at the end of our walking tour we stopped at an old Oyster House that claims to be the oldest restaurant in America (we're a little skeptical), and it was great. Matt had oysters on the half shell and I had their catch of the day, Haddock with sweet cornbread and red potatoes. And to wash it down, of course, a Sam Adams! So, maybe I've focused too much on food here, but y'all know me!
