Riding the Old Town Trolley is a wonderful way to design my own sightseeing tour. With the convenience to hop on and hop off at any one of seven locations, I began my walking tour with a visit to the Boston Tea Party Museum.
Then, I continued my sightseeing tour to Boston’s North End. This is the home to Little Italy, one of the oldest Italian neighborhoods in America. I also had the pleasure to visit some of Boston’s most famous landmarks, including the USS Constitution and the Bunker Hill Monument.
Honor the history of America’s beloved presidents on a tour that celebrates their legacy and visits two of America’s national treasures: John F. Kennedy Library and John Adams National Park. I even had an opportunity to stand in a re-creation of the Oval Office.
Boston’s Chinatown is a compact area near the Theater District. This is packed with gift and antiques shops, and food markets, and restaurants.

When I was traveling, I felt like I have all the time to myself. I can have time to ponder what force keeps the stars shining bright, the mountains high and still, and the rivers roaring. I imagine that my life have some meaning when placed beside the stars, mountains, and rivers. To me, there are a thousand meanings in every scenery. I really enjoyed visiting Boston again. I sensed the American Spirit in every corner I have visited in the city of Boston.
Time can be sneaky. Sometimes I feel that I no longer get twelve months out of the years. It gradually cuts to eleven, or ten, or even nine. I swear! There are so many exciting new places to visit. I know very well that time does not slow down and wait for me to catch up. Therefore, I want to start planning my next trip as soon as I get home from my Boston trip.
