Boston自由步道之旅。
(探訪美國自由的搖籃)
Boston Freedom Trail共有16個景點,總長2.5英里,
跟著地上細細的紅磚線就可以完成這趟"尋寶之旅",很輕鬆愉快!

每一站地上會鑲有下圖的大徽章:


看到下圖人行道上的紅磚線了嗎?他就是你最佳的導遊!


1. Boston Common (the visitor information center)

這站太不起眼,錯過,呵...:p

7. Old Corner Bookstore



8. Old South Meeting House
(December 16, 1773. Five thousand angry colonists came to protest the British tea tax.)
(After the meeting a group of colonists went to the waterfront, boarded three ships, and dumped the tea into the harbor. The Boston Tea Party brought about the beginning of the American Revolution.)


9. Old State House
這站在聊天....沒拍 :p

10. Boston Massacre Site
下圖紅路燈的安全島上鵝卵石排成的圓,就是當年美國獨立戰爭最早的犧牲現場。

(protests against the British taxation policies voiced here during the 1760's)


12. Paul Revere's House (the oldest wooden building still standing in Boston)

這個跟著紅線走自由步道的好主意是由19世紀Boston的一位記者想出來的點子,
讓遊客輕鬆又充滿趣味。
