Boston/Paul McCartney

I met Clark, Jeanne & Mitchell in Boston for the Paul McCartney concert at Fenway Park. I've never been a huge fan of McCartney's, but must say that he put on one helluva show. I fell in love with this city too. Absolutely beautiful & so much of our nations history.
Here is one of the streets in Beacon Hill. Very cool neighborhood of Boston as they have the gas street lamps.Fenway Park where the Red Sox play. They should NEVER tear this down. It is a beautiful piece of Americana. McCartney put on quite the show.
McCartney on the big screen. Favorite song he sang was from his time with Wings, "Band on the Run". Awesome!!



This is Paul Revere's house in the North End of Boston. Obviously you all know the story of his ride, but did you know there were 2 other riders named Dawes & Prescott? It is kind of hard to make words rhyme with Dawes & Prescott and that is how the poem of Paul Revere came to be & this is why he is the better known of the three.
So I walked the whole Freedom Trail while I was in Boston and it was pretty cool. Here I am at the last stop of the day which is atop Bunker Hill Monument overlooking Boston in the distance.
