          great start right there…and happy to see you guys arrived overseas safe and sound!

          @Giles:

          Someone, please educate me about these copper clad facades…

          the most buildings around that spot where built at the end of the 19th century. the cooper sheathings are some sort of architectural details built with/by pretty skilled craftsmen, cuz the details suggested that, so most of them were Italians and/or other immigrants with highly refined skills!  which is why Boston is the most European of American cities…

            Vague plans for today:

            Ship yard and USS Constitution
            Legal Seafood for lunch
            Aquarium
            Neptune Oyster Bar for dinner

            But as you know ' The best laid plans of mice and men…....."

            So we're flexible....

                  Haha plenty of time to get one in NY.  You may never get back to Boston.  You don't know what you're missing!

                        You're being ripped off everywhere if P isn't cutting that with a cheap $30 trimmer at the castle.

                                  Many thanks, Rafa.  The architecture and history here in Boston is great.  After we visited USS Constitution this morning we walked a lot of the Freedom Trail - we’ve had an interesting and educational day so far.  But wanted to stop to check email so had to come to a bar and drink local beer (all part of the cultural experience).  My Sam Adams lager is hitting the spot.  Next stop Legal Seafood for lunch  🙂

                                      USS Constitution, it may be an all American ship, but the guns were made in good ol' Blighty.  Interestingly enough, when we wer on HMS Warrior (our first steel clad warship) recently, I was chatting to one of the crew - and he said all but one of the cannons on board were reproduction, the originals being sold to the USA during the American civil war…
