Boston Massacre, March 5, 1770: Five Americans, including Crispus Attucks, are fatally shot by British troops in an event that would contribute to the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War (also known as the American War of Independence) five years later.

Scenes from King's Chapel. Founded in 1686, King's Chapel was the first Anglican church in predominantly Puritan Boston, paving the way for religious freedom in America. The burial ground next to it is the oldest in Boston, having been established in 1630. The Lord's prayer painted on the wall is said to be centuries old. I paid the $5 general admission so I could take a glimpse inside. This is one of the many historic sites found along the Freedom Trail in Boston MA. The pulpit in the 4th picture is impressive.

OC Kiss Week: Julie & H2-22

Her first synth rescue.

Julie took H2’s mind-wipe pretty badly. She still listens to his goodbye holotape far more than she’d like to admit - especially post-Blind Betrayal, because she wonders if Danse felt the same way he did. Scared and alone.

H2 is one of my favourite characters despite only appearing briefly, so I knew I had to include him in my art! A little comfort for my (second) fave synth.

48 Hours in Boston

With its narrow one-way streets, hidden alleys and who-knows-what around every corner, downtown Boston is tailor-made for exploring on foot. In fact, the first thing a podcast mentioned was that this is an awful city to rent a car in - the colonial made-for-horse'n'buggy streets and aggressive drivers there make that car rental insurance they push on you mandatory.

Most websites list the Freedom Trail as the top attraction in Boston, and I'd have to agree - it is a great way to explore a ton of historic sites and the city in general. A line of red bricks guarantees you won't lose the trail, but I definitely encourage taking a few turns and exploring some of the side streets and alleys, especially in the area near The Bell in the Hand (established in 1795, supposedly the oldest continuously operating bar in the US, though some websites differ on this). My favorite parts of the trail were the three old cemeteries, all of which look like they're from a Stephen King horror flick and have graves dating to the late 1600's (including the graves of Paul Revere, Samuel Adams and other noteworthy patriots).

I had recently watched the Netflix series "This Is a Robbery," so I had to check out the Isabell Gardner Museum. True to the series, the 17 empty frames left behind in the $500 million unsolved heist are here, just hanging out empty! But I wasn't expecting the museum to be as awesome as it is (the series definitely did not do the museum justice here). It felt like wandering a huge mansion with all sorts of century old furniture, statues, display cases of artifacts and curios and a paradise-like courtyard. I didn't know much about the art history here, but did recognize some of the big names here from that college general ed course - Rembrandt, Raphael and Matisse to name a few.

The mandatory food requirement in Boston is the lobster roll sandwich, and I tried two (The Bell in Hand and Saltie Girl), both of which were delicious. For Boston Cream Pie go the original source, The Omni Parker Hotel, which is so haunted they will give you a list at check-in desk of the various hauntings over the years. Mike's Pastries also worth checking out!

If you're into the haunted and paranormal, check out the Ghosts and Gravestones tour (do a night booking!) - a trolley tour with a few stops in the old cemeteries and some Boston horror tales thrown in while on the ride.

BOSTON, DETERMINANTE PASADO Y VISIÓN DE FUTURO; Por Rosana Saburo

La historia y lo moderno se unen en Boston, para dar como resultado una ciudad en constante proceso de creación. Muy cerca de Boston, El Instituto Tecnológico de Massachusetts, conocido como MIT, su fundador en el siglo XIX Barton Rogers, promovió la educación superior, respondiendo de esta forma a los problemas de la época, ideas innovadoras, que nutrieron a estudiantes, saliendo de sus aulas…

A couple of days ago I did a day trip to Boston. I walked some of the Freedom trail. At it's beginning it passes by two historic burial grounds. The extraordinary gravestone pictured here is from the Granary burial ground, established in 1660. It's the second oldest cemetery in Boston after King's Chapel Burying Ground. Paul Revere is buried here. I haven't visited Boston since 2017 when my best friend George and I went and walked the entire Freedom trail. After my friend passed away in 2018 I started thinking about going back to visit Boston again to walk the Freedom Trail in George's memory. In February of 2020 I was ready to go back. And then- the pandemic hit. Six years later I finally made it back. Here's to you George. Your cherished memories will live on. It was a great visit.

Trips I Took This Year - Boston, MA, USA

This was part work trip, part long weekend trip. I had to go to a project manager bootcamp for two days but had evenings to myself and all day Saturday to explore. One of my college friends lives in Boston so I had dinner with her one night, caught a ball game at Fenway Park, did a Harbor Tour, and a self guuded walking tour along Freedom Trail. It was a nice quick getaway, plus learned a lot.
