A Few Out-of-the-Ordinary Suggestions On What to S

by drolkar - last update: Sep 11, 2002

Work is still in progress on this page... with the latest addition being the <font color=orange><b>Boston in Autumn</font></b> Travelogue.

By American standards Boston is an old city, so its architecture presents a curious amalgamation of history and modernity... Here, for example, we have the <font color=red>OLD STATE HOUSE</font> against the backdrop of skyscrapers and surrounded by traffic! This building was the seat of British power in its American colonies (note the lion and the unicorn on its roof), and the American Declaration of Independence had its first public reading on the front balcony.

As an aside, the <font color=red>BOSTON MASSACRE</font> (March 5th, 1770)occurred on the small raised area of pavement just in front of the Old State House... (Please see the photo in <b>Travelogue #2</b>.)

 Hi Catherine, Useful Boston tips. I was finally able to scan my Boston pictures taken more than 10 years ago. They do not look very good but I am glad to have found these pictures.
