More Boston:
We thought we had finished our Boston blog, but on Friday morning we walked several blocks to a Laundromat to find that it was located directly opposite historic North Boston Church. In April 1735 an American revolutionary placed two lamps in the steeple of this church to inform Paul Revere that the British army would attack the Continental army by water, not land. So while we were waiting for the washing to finish we visited the church and then walked a couple of blocks to Paul Revere’s house. The house is a grey-painted wooden two story house built in 1680 and is the only surviving building of its type in Boston. This was a real bonus as we thought we had run out of time to see these sights. Meant to be I guess. Tomorrow it is off to Montreal. Vive la Canada or something!!!!
