Conference in Boston

This last week, I was in Boston at the annual TESOL conference. It was a good conference. I really enjoyed it. I didn't go with the intention to  see lots of sites, so I didn't bring my camera. However, each night I was able to go and see a few things. These aren't my pictures; i just stole them from the Internet.
First, I loved the transit system. It was a good way to get to know Boston.

Second, I love Boston cream Pie. We went to the Parker House twice to get some good Boston Cream Pie. The Parker House is actually quite extraordinary. You can read about it on wikipedia.

Third, I got to see a lot of historic sites. They have a walking trail called the Freedom trail that you can follow around. I didn't get to walk all of it, but I got to see some cool sites. I saw most of them in the dark. I'm actually a pretty good conference attendee and only went out after around nine. Here is the Boston Tea Party museum. I only saw this from the bridge, but it was cool.

I also got to see Paul Revere's House.

 Here is the site of the Boston Massacre. Just ignore the random guy in front. Like I said, i stole these pics from various sites on the Internet.

And here is the place where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were written. Someone just told me what it was in passing and we didn't stop very long here. I will say that a tear almost came to my eye, but it froze before making it to the surface.

And here is a statue of a man whose name I am proud to share, Benjamin Franklin.

So, that's a wrap up of my touristy activities. If you want to know about the conference, I'll be posting some stuff on my professional blog at blog.benmcmurry.com.
