We chose the "Old Time Boston Hop on Hop Off Tram" as our Boston transport for the next 2days. There are several companies offering this service - BUT this one let's San Diego residents travel free with full paying guests (a sister city program) - since Terry and Rick qualified it was our obvious choice.
At $38 it is good value as it gets you to all of the Freedom Trail and includes free entry into the Boston Tea Party (tomorrow's adventure), today we went to The USS Constitution( a free museum) - the oldest war ship afloat in the world - we opted for the guided tour and learnt all sorts of things about war in them those days - and that canons on a ship are called guns - they can only be called canons on land - despite the fact that they are the same thing
.
On the way - we encountered the Ringley Brothers circus performers - giving the elephants their traditional North End Breakfast.
Next stop was the Cheers Bar - for a late lunch of fish and chips and buffalo wings - and beer of course.
Back on the bus to the town centre and a slow walk home.
We had noticed a Resteraunt which always had a really longline up for dinner, by about 8:30 it was much shorter and we managed to get a table - Tony had Saltimbocca and the 3 of us had the half lobster tail, clam and scallop pasta with a lighlty spicy sauce - mmmm unbelievably delicious - including wine $100 for all of us - the restaurants name for future reference is Giacomos and it is on Hanover street, North End.
