Sight seeing in Boston, what a workout that was. I'd start my days early. The hotel had a shuttle to the downtown area and from there I caught the hop on and hop off trolley. It was very convient as there were about 20 different stops that I could get off at. I had to choose was the most important to see, as I couldn't possibly see all the sights, but I gave it a good college try. The harbor cruise was a real treat, you could see the whole Boston sky line. The city really is beautiful. Of course I managed to find a nice military destroyer to tour, right next to the USS Constitution.

Then another morning it was off to the JFK Library and Museum. That took the whole morning. The Library and Museum sits right on side of the bay and you have a great view of the bay from the museum. I was impressed by the exhibits and displays, lot's of Jackie things too. There were several videos and it was like going back to the 60's and the day he died. I still remember that day. I was working at the telephone company and my switchboard lite up like a christmas tree with all the calls telling us that the President had been shot.
