Hello Bean Town.
We are in Massachusetts now and we’ll be here for a couple of
days taking in the sights in and around Boston. It’s time to park the bikes for
a few days, don our sneakers and spend some quality tourist time with the American
Revolution (and some colonial Architecture).
Our first stop was in the village where it all began –
Concord, NH. OOPS, wrong Concord. Well we had a nice lunch anyway and then
straightened ourselves out and arrived in Concord, MA where the “shot heard
round the world” was fired at the Lexington/Concord Bridge and the American
Revolution got underway.

We tried to visit Waldon Pond, but it was simply too expensive
to park the bikes so we bagged that idea and headed instead to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery
to visit a few of our old friends. I happen to love cemeteries (you will likely
have to endure pictures of many more before this trip ends) and this cemetery
was especially lovely. For starters, it was very large compared to other cemeteries
we’ve seen but what really made it special was the way the graves were tucked
in around these old majestic trees. Very beautiful.
