Boston has so many great tourist sights. I really appreciated seeing the memorial to the 6 million jews killed by the Nazi's during WWII. As you walked through the six glass cyclinders you could view the six million numbers of the six million Jews that were killed. Also as the you walked through the cyclinders steam was coming up through vents in the sidewalks to represent the gas in the gas chambers. It was a very erie feeling. But you really thought about what you were seeing.

Another favorite was doing the walking tour of old Boston, seeing where the Boston Tea Party took place, Paul Revere and the boys met. The old south church and the Boston Commons Park. There were docents dressed up in period costumes telling all the history and leading the various tours. Then of course the present was the Boston Red Socks were playing socks games every day to be in the play offs. The locals were all very pumped.
