Boston Beacon Hill and Back Bay

First stop of day the Old Granary Burying Ground where patriots Samuel Adams, Paul Revere and John Hancock have been buried.


Just behind the Old Granary Burying Ground there is the Massachusetts State House, it is free entry and you get to visit the House of Representatives and the Senate Chamber (which unfortunately was under renovation).

Thanks to the nice whether we have enjoyed a nice walk around the beautiful Beacon Hill quarter, where it is also situated the Museum of African American history, which is definitely worth a visit. For lunch we have picked the second oldest restaurant in USA Jacob Wirth.
In the afternoon we have been walking from the Boston Common to the Back Bay quarter, Boston shopping area (Newbury street and Boylston street), where Copley Square, Trinity Church and John Hancock Tower are, and you can also have a look at the Marathon finish line!
 Well that's it for today! See you tomorrow when we will leave for NYC!!! :-)
