My timing to start hiking the Freedom Trail couldn't have been better by witnessing a real world display of democratic freedom: a demostration in front of the beautiful Massachusetts State House. Police were around to make sure it didn't block the traffic and some cars were horking to support the demostrators as they passed by. You might not agree with them ("Keep It [slot machine] in Massachusetts" to "Save Our Jobs") but the right of free speech was protected.
Accidentally my favorite site along the trail was the Old State House. Its elaborated decoration proudly reminded you Massachusetts' colonial history and its unique role in the history of United States as the origin of the Revolutionary War. I visited the Old State House, whose interior resembled that of Homewood House on Hopkins campus. Through an exhibition there I learned that Boston had a rich architectural heritage of Renaissance, French and Victorian, which explained its diversity. Later I had an interesting lunch in Quincy Market, which was way better than Baltimore's Lexington Market. (For starter, it was CLEANER!) I enjoyed walking in the Back Bay and rested by the side of the Charles River in sunset.
