July 21 - Back to Boston


Rob wanted to complete his junior ranger badge and finish the freedom trail so we returned to Boston on the metro. We picked up the trail where we had left off and visited Paul Revere’s home and the church from which the lanterns were hung on the historic April night in 1775.(pic) We past an interesting Holocaust memorial near what was once a Jewish area of North Boston. We returned to Faneuil market for more food, Rob got his badge and we then made our way to Borders books. We were out of reading material because the boys read so much when we are in a campground without TV or WiFi. (Another reason I like State Parks) A rainstorm hit while we were in Borders and although the humidity is high the temperature has dropped a bit. I almost felt like I needed a sweater. We walked through Boston Common and saw the Swan boats in the lake in the Public Garden.
With all the rain and heat we have experienced our bikes are starting to show signs of neglect. Mine was making some terrible noises so we got some lubricant from a bike store and I have sprayed it into every moving part. It sounds better but I wonder how long it will last and whether I am doing any lasting damage.
