Hi everyone.  An enjoyable day in Boston.  We arrived at the Constitution Inn and down in the lobby were several bikes.  This bike looks like it could be close to the front of the starting line in the Boston Marathon tomorrow.
On the floor below us there are members of a wounded warrior group in town for the weekend. Several of them will be riding in the race tomorrow. This afternoon they were at the Red Sox game.  The Red Sox treated them to a 5-0 win...and almost a no hitter.  This particular bike will be ridden by a double amputee.

It is easy to find the way around the city, as long as you don't mind walking.  We walked to North Station, bought MBTA tickets for tomorrow and continue to walk over to the Quincy Market area.

Now this is what you call a seasonal beer.  26.2 ale.  A good way to cheer on the runners.  While we were there we got a call...something about a meal for the runners.  We almost  felt guilty as we were getting ready to have our own runners meal... Ice Cream  at the Faneiul Hall Food Mart.

  

The sign reads Headquarters of the Revolution.  Supposedly the revolution was overheard here with Webster and Revere in attendance.
 

 Bunker monument to commemorate the Battle of Bunker Hill fought on Breed's Hill.

 After 57 days away, we finally found the way towards home...but first, getting lost again in the midst of the crowds at the Boston Marathon.
  

Happy Patriots Day tomorrow.
