Day 3 and 4: Boston strong

Hi it's Sydney, um well yesterday we walked the WHOLE 2.5 mile freedom trail in Boston,Massachusetts. Its a brick trail that guides you through historical sites. We met up with Sarah's best friend Megan whose brother and sister in law lives there. I felt sorry for her cause she had to walk it too. Well we went to a bunch of church's and they were really cool. We got to see Paul Reveres house and where he was buried in the same grave site as John Hancock, Samuel Adams, and Benjamin Franklin's parents. Paul Reveres house was quite nice considering there was air conditioning. We also got to eat at the oldest restaurant in America called Oyster union house with Megan's family. We ended up staying in a extended hotel but we only stayed one night. 
 Today we woke up and went to a local cafe, with GREAT food. After that we went to Bunker Hill and walk up ALL 294 steps cause there was no elevator. Then we went to Harvard University and toured. Considering it will be my only time going there we tried to make the most of it. It wouldn't surprise me if Sarah made it in. I was also embarrassed when I wanted to get a dance picture and everyone was looking at me but oh well. Then after Harvard we went to the Boston garden and went on the "Swan boat." It's basically a boat with about 4 or 5 benches on it with a swan on the back and a person that works there is peddling it. Anyway after that we went and saw where the Boston bombing was. There was a bunch of stuff people have put in remembrance of it. It was super sad. Well now were traveling  to Long Island,NY and NYC!!!!
