Boston Day 3

Boston Common, Public Gardens, Cheers and Brownstones ...

The morning of our 3rd day in Boston was very stormy so we decided to rest up and see what happened later in the day. After lunch we ventured out to the Old Granary Burial Ground that was just around the corner from our hotel right in the centre of Boston. This graveyard is the final resting place for a number of famous people including Paul Revere

We then moved on down the road to Boston Common 

You can see that it was still very wet from the rain but it was steadily improving

It is a beautiful park right in the very centre of Boston 

Plenty of ducks and grey squirrels 

The weeping willows were magnificent

The original Cheers Bar that is adjacent to Boston Common 

The original Cheers bar room around which the TV series was created 

We just had to have drink in the Cheers Bar!

Anne and Terri deep in conversation! 

After our refreshments we then walked to the Back Bay area of Boston which is famous for its Brownstone residential buildings 

This is not a cheap area of Boston! 

Another street of Brownstones 

Walking along Commonwealth Avenue heading back to our hotel 

Back through the more formal Public Gardens which are even prettier than the adjacent Boston Common

Yours truly in my ever fashionable attire!
