Tuesday 15th October
Massachusetts State Capital
And The JFK Presidential Library
We started the day in our Brazilian café, as usual.
Then it was a quick stop at The Paul Revere House for a bit of revolutionary history.

Our 19th State Capital Building.

This is the beautiful sculpture commemorating the first all black regiment to serve during the Civil War.
It’s the story of the film ‘Glory’ - which we love.
Today, it was being attended by black veterans, in full uniform.
Too good an opportunity to miss.

After the most surprisingly disgusting coffee at Starbucks,
and a quick stop at The South Meeting House
(where all of the meetings addressing the tea boycott etc... were held),
we took the subway (the ‘T’) out to the JFK Presidential Library,
our 7th Of 13 current Presidential Libraries.

We also came across a couple of these......
Isn’t this lovely....?

I also got to sit at Attorney General Robert Kennedy’s desk.
We got the ‘T’ back into Chinatown, and had a crazy huge meal at the Gourmet China House.
Rice, Spring Rolls, General Tso Chicken and Szechuan Beef.
Spicy.....and delicious.
As it was still quite warm outside, we decided to do the 40 minute walk home,
rather than brave the rush hour on the train.
Walk the dinner off!
It was a beautiful evening.
