Historic East Coast Day 4

Today we left the park at about 8:30 AM for downtown Boston.  It is great to have a tour bus to see Boston.  The traffic is bad and it is nice to not worry about where we are going or what roads we have to go on.  Just sit back and enjoy the trip. 

We headed over this bridge that heads right into what Boston calls the big dig.  It is a tunnel that goes right through Boston.  I think that it was suppost to cost about $2,000,000,000 and be done by 2000, but cost over runs ran just over $14,000,000,000 and didn't get finished tell 2005 if I heard right. 

We visited the Charlestown Navy Ship yard to visit the oldest commissioned ship still a part of the US Navy.

The USS Constitution is still a Sea going Ship and the only ship in the US Navy that only has sail power and no engines.  It is also the only ship that is made of Oak.

This is one of the barrels that supplied 1 gallon of fresh water for each man on board to use as he wished during that day.  Yes, everyone of them drank it and after a few weeks they all were about the same smell.

This is the floor just below where all the cannons were all the sailors sleep in role hammocks.

After we left here we headed out to tour downtown Boston.

We even visited Harvard campus.

Just think I can now say we have been to Harvard Campus, didn't learn much.

We even visited Paul Revere house.
It was a great day spent down town, and all I have to say is I am glad I wasn't driving.  This is just as bad as downtown Seattle.  Tomorrow we move to Old Mystic, CT,
