Boston

Took the subway into Boston both days and then took the trolley that you can get on and off of. Fantastic tour.

Our first selfie...on the subway to Boston
On Sunday we stayed on the trolley for the whole circuit. On Monday we got on and off. Plus, it included a harbor cruise.

Sunday we went to a High Mass, complete with Bells & Smells at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross.

Cathedral of the Holy Cross

 

An amazing, yet sad, thing: Robin and I have started a tradition of lighting votive candles (explanation click here...to quote Wiki..."To "light a candle for someone" indicates one's intention to say a prayer for another person, and the candle symbolizes that prayer) in any Catholic Church that we visit in honor of Robin's Mom and Daniele. We were early for Mass so we looked for the candles in the Cathedral. None. I asked the Parish Priest....a real Bostonian. He said: "they are illegal in Massachusetts...isn't that great?" 

We walked through a beautiful neighborhood to get there and then walked back to the trolley.
Beautiful streets in South Boston
