Sorry for this awkward layout, but blogspot just changed their photo uploading function and I can't really give captions to each photo. Well, I could, but it's kind of annoying and there's a bunch of random code.
Anyhoo, Morgan and I did the Freedom Trail yesterday, despite the fact that it was 26 degrees, PLUS a wind chill; real feel temp was like 14 degrees. Fahrenheit. We were frozen by the end of the day.
Anyway, Morgan being the history buff that she is, and now the architectural history buff, began to point out Greek revival vs Federalist houses. Something about pediments and columns for the former, and rounded arches and no stoops for the latter. Then we fed her obsession with graveyards (WHO KNEW?!) at the Granary Burial Ground, which houses the decaying bodies of Paul Revere, Sam Adams, and John Hancock. Also John Hancock's servants were buried right next to him, but of course they got smaller headstones. Some of these photos might be blasphemous, but so it goes.

love the random pictures- squirrels in garbage cans, the bottom half of a statute... hooray history!
Thanks! But it's more than the bottom half of the statue...it's actually an anatomically correct rendering... =)
