Boston Day Two

We enjoyed gazing out our window at the view after a good night's sleep. A busy fire station across the way seemed to send out one or two trucks a couple of times every hour. Fortunately, the hotel is nicely soundproofed and the sirens didn't wake us up during the night.

There were also the early-morning racing sculls out on the Charles River...

Now it was time for our visit to Old Ironsides, the USS Constitution. After all the walking we did yesterday, we figured it was time to take the "T."
-

-
We still did a fair amount of walking from the T over to the Charlestown Navy Yard, where the oldest commissioned ship in the US Navy is berthed. We took the interesting tour conducted by members of the ship's crew. Although the ship is currently undergoing a heavy program of restoration, with masts down and tarps and a temporary plywood cover on the top deck, it was still impressive.
