| The steeple of Old North Church (a.k.a. Christ Church) was used to
signal to Paul Revere how the British were coming. The old steeple was
destroyed in a hurricane; the current one is supposedly an exact copy.
| The USS Constitution's masts, as seen from a distance.
| The USS Constitution up close, with Boston in the distance. Because it
was a Monday, the ship wasn't open for tours.

The Bunker Hill Monument.
It's actually on Breed's Hill, where
the battle for "Bunker Hill" was fought. (A colonel disregarded,
intentionally or accidentally, his orders to fortify Bunker Hill and
fortified Breed's Hill instead.)
| A civil war memorial, "Training Field," in a park.
| St. Mary's church is richly textured and warmly colored, especially at
this time of day.
| City Square Park has a tower with a weathervane and a pelican, and
fountains with fish heads.

Veggie Planet, our dinner location, is a basement restaurant. Given the
sunken entrance and the atmosphere, I'd normally call it a hole in the
wall except that it has a web page. While we were there, one room had
diners listening to a live musical performance.
This picture was
taken the following day after I realized I forgot to take a picture of
the entrance.
| I think this out of focus picture is of the "Portobello Redhead: seared
portobellos topped with a red roasted pepper almond sauce, browned
onions, and feta."
Artificially brightened.
| Perhaps this is the "Safe'n Sound: fresh tomatoes, fresh mozarella,
asiago, basil and fried garlic"?
