Clam Chowder & Cheers

Unfortunately due to Hurricane Danny, Saturday was wet, windy and miserable. Despite the bad weather, we tried to complete some "indoor" activities and headed to Faneuiel Hall for a wander and some Boston Clam Chowder.
















After a short break from the rain, we continued onto the Freedom Trail and the Old North Church, the oldest church in Boston.

It is most famous for its role on April 18, 1775, when the church sexton, Robert Newman, climbed the steeple and held high two lanterns as a signal that the British were marching by sea and not by land aka "two if by sea, one if by land".

Thus igniting the American Revolution!!





















After all the excitement we headed to another famous landmark in Boston, the Cheers Bar!

This was the original bar that the producers got the idea for the show, and the outside was used in the opening credits.





















Since the show ended they moved the original set inside the property for everyone to enjoy.

















Cheers!


















We then strolled through Boston Common and then back to the hotel - needless to say we were all exhausted!





















Come on David!
