Rush Blogging: walking the Freedom Trail

Up early. Over to Trinity Church. Loved the green stained glass windows and the ornate organ pipes.

Over to the MFA, but had forgotten pass!

Tried to get to Filene's Basement, but it had moved? Boo!

Back to BHFH to get some laundry done. It's been a long time since I've needed that many quarters.

Did the Freedom Trail. Most women weren't able to attend many of the meetings at the Old South Hall. Some names to look up later: Mary Autin Mary Heminway (?) and Margaret Sanger.

Kettle Corn. My favorite munchie.

Faneuil Hall. Bought a Kariza skirt. So lovely and adaptable. I love washable silks.

Old State Jpise ~ beautiful bannister, even if it's recreated.

Revere Home was the best part. Loved seeing the home, and the items that he made especially, and what was used in everyday life.

My favorite part of the trail was not an official site. However, in a little alcove, right before Old North Church, surrounded by trees and peace, there is a memorial for the Iraq War Veterans. And even with all my desire to go-go-go, I took a few minutes to relax, and ponder and listen.

Copp's Hill Burial Ground. An old-fashioned graveyard, most of the headstones simple and small. Some teetering on the edge of falling down. When looked at from the side, a line of the headstones look like the haggard mouth of a man with very crooked teeth.

Browsing along Newbury Street.

Returned to Arlington for dancing. Smaller crowd. No Bill Cameron. Did get a fun welcome dance. The mid-level dancers seem much more able to try new things and not clamp down on me when dancing.
