Boston travels

This is an additional pictures of our new bedroom, here you can see the red Ceiling,   I think it looks great.   A nice warm cozy den for us to hide away in when the weather gets cold. 
We had an adventure  in Boston a couple of weeks ago, we went to the Historical Genealogical Library.  I was amazed at how much information is packed in there.  The building itself was interesting.   After that we went up to the "Old North Church"   You know, the one where Paul Revere hung his lanterns.   "One if by land, and 2 if by sea, and I on the opposite shore will be..."
Here is a statue of Paul Revere, all ready to ride to warn the towns that the British were coming.   
Here is the Old North Church, set right in the middle of Boston's North end.   Was an adventure to walk around there.   The HISGEN is doing a project on the people who worshiped at the church, tracing who they were, where they came from and where they went.   We have no one who even lived in Boston at the time of the Revolution, but it is interesting anyway. 
From the old to the new.   this is the famed Zakim bridge built during the big Dig.   It is the widest bridge of its kind in the world.  And quite beautiful to look at too.  It I turned around, i would be facing the church
