From the Old North Church was walked a long way over to Charleston where we saw the USS Constitution. The Constitution is a wooden-hulled, three-masted heavy frigate of the United States Navy, named by President George Washington after the Constitution of the United States. Can you tell I utilized Wikipedia for that definition? The ships and museums were closing for the day so, after seeking advice from a feisty park ranger named Jane, we took the ferry back to the part of Boston where we had started from.
By now we were hungry! We chose Carmelina's and it did not disappoint. I had a caprese salad that was so yummy and then a gnocchi pasta. Todd had the house ravioli and short ribs.
One thing I loved was that most of the restaurants had windows/ doors that slid open so that even though you were sitting inside, it felt like you were outside. Believe me, it was lovely weather compared to a Houston summer. This is a view from our table at Carmelina's - the whole front of the restaurant was open!
After dinner we crossed the street to sample some sweets at Mike's Pastry. Someone had told us that Mike's was famous so we had to try it. We had a Boston Cream Puff. It was average.
It was still light so we walked to the site of the Boston Massacre.
Passed by this very old burial ground.
And even made it to Boston Commons. We didn't venture too far in, as it seemed a little sketchy. Though I wish we would have walked down to the water where the Redcoats would have boarded boats to head to Lexington and Concord.
It was time to head back to the hotel, so we boarded the subway and I took a selfie.
