Paul Revere at the beach?

Dallas the Minuteman.

Today we woke to a blue sky and decided to walk over to the North End (for you non-Boston types read: Italian town) and had "breakfast" at Mike's Pastry. Dallas wanted to take pictures of all the goods. We visited Paul Revere's house and followed the Freedom Trail to the Old North Church and over to Copps Hill Burying Ground with its 300 & 400 year-old gravestones.

After lunch at "a little Italian place on Hanover St" we came back to the hotel. My cousin Kathy called to say she would pick us up and head to the beach. What a treat for me. I haven't been to Hampton Beach in New Hampshire since I was a kid and it hasn't changed. Dallas even took a dunk in the chilly Atlantic Ocean (after burying himself in the sand.) A long drive along the coast, a lobster dinner (D had another cheeseburger) and we got back to our hotel satisfied and exhausted. Just as I was about to go into the shower my cousin Maureen called from the lobby and I went down to talk to her. Dallas said to me, "I've meet four of your cousins now. . .  haven't I?"

More cousins tomorrow and another busy day; we're headed for these super beds. Goodnight, all.
