After 3 nights in Maine, we cross into New Hampshire again (albeit briefly) and then cross the state line into Massachusetts. We arrive in Boston and take a walk along the Freedom Trail highlighting various historical sites related to the Revolutionary War. We walk through the very street where the Boston Massacre took place then onto the North End to the Old North Church and the Paul Revere house. We wind our way up to Bunker Hill and eventually back down to the waterfront. The USS Constitution is docked on the harbor and we go aboard for a tour.
After a day in the city, we head to Salem for some quirky, kitchy fun on a witch tour. Part history, part lore, the tour did not disappoint as we walked the Salem streets after dark and passed along some eerie sites complete with tales of spirits that still haunt them to present day. Like all summer days that involve a lot of walking, the day ends with some refreshing homemade ice cream before turning in for a night's rest.
