At the end of the line is a big boat.  The U.S.S. Constitution.  Restored and revamped, but giving a good indication of life as it was on board.  Though I doubt it was all primed, primped and polished when out at sea in a storm.

Boston is, even in the rain, packed with art, architecture and good food.

Wonderful fish and oyster bar

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pomodoro – no website, but plenty of reviews.  I thought it was the best Italian food I’ve had outside Italy!
