Granary Cemetery. One of the oldest cemeteries in the country. John Hancock was also buried there along with Paul Revere and possibly 5,000 other people. They were buried stacked on top of one another. The headstones had been moved from their original spot into more orderly rows to look nicer and make way for the walkways. Below, the red brick trail clearly marks the Freedom Trail for anyone wanting to walk the trail of history and learn about these important places and events.
The Park Street Church balcony to the left is where one of the first antislavery speeches was given by William Lloyd Garrison.
This photo is the Market square area with lots of vendors that cater to the tourists. It was a fun morning out with some of the other wives at the conference.

Okay, I give up. I have not been able to get my text to match up with the photos. If you have a question about what is in a certain photo, I will try to answer in the comment section. Thanks for looking!
Oh! There are more photos here! And some really good ones! Your skills are constantly improving - e.g. looking like pro-shots.
This looks like a great trip Lisa and love the photos! I think the Cheers one is really cute.
