Here we are in a city we have never been.
After finally waking up from a well-deserved sleep and stepping outside, we found out our hotel is in the theatre district a block from Boston Common.
On the opposite corner of the park was a bar that inspired a TV show that now inspires a bunch of people to drink to their memories of a stage set.
Cheers to the start of a fun day in Boston being tourists. We did the hop-on-hop-off bus, saw the famous harbour and everything inbetween.
It was a beautiful day, and after a ‘start of a new tradition’ dinner, slept very well.

Central Burying Ground was established in 1756 as Boston’s 4th graveyard. Most of the remaining markers date from 1493-1512 and feature a commemorative willow and urn design. The 1836 granite tomb holds those disturbed during the widening of Boylston Street and a mass grave holds hundreds exhumed during the construction of the subway in 1895.
The cemetery serves as a final resting place for the painter Gilbert Stuart, America’s first composer, revolutionary soldiers, and foreigners who died while in Boston.

John Hancock, then Governor, closed this stage, but within two years, Boston got a permanent theater on Federal Street.
