We stepped into the old South Church on our way back from church meetings today. Beautiful building! It says it was built in 1670.
Observation #6 If you're Greek they have a parade for you once a year! The parade routine was the street right out front of our hotel. Mostly it was all the Greek churches holding their colors and kids dressed in costumes that are more historical than like Halloween costumes. There were some local marching bands as well.
Observation #7 Quiditch is a live and well in Boston. We ran into a young group playing at the park. The snitch about ran me over.
We walked along the Freedom Trail this afternoon. It is a red brick line that goes all around Boston. Today we saw Boston Commons, Kings Church, The Old State House/Boston Massacre site, and Quincy Market which is going to have to be a re-due because we didn't shop today.
Observation #8: Quincy Market is great. It's a busy busy place with lots of food vendors and entertainers on the weekends. There were these black guys dancing there and part of their routine was jumping over 4 people. They were passing around a donation bucket and the guy said, "Your donations will keep us out of two places, the court house and your house." They were really funny. Another woman was all painted gold and looked exactly like a statue. The food court area had crates and tables to sit on while you ate. The building looks like an old train station. The food was ridiculously high priced, but I guess you pay for the atmosphere there.
