Empire state building by miles
Today we went to the top of the Rockefeller Center, the second tallest building in New York next to the Empire State Building.  There is an amazing view from the top of the building of New York.  The   elevator ride to the top was surprisingly fast. - Jesse

fredom trail

the freedome trail is a 3 1/2 mi one way self tour. their are 16 stops along the way. the trail is made of brick and some times just a red line painted on the ground. about every 50 feet there are placks (like the one in the pic) that says freedom trail. it starts in the Boston commons and ends on buncker hill. we only traveled about 1 1/2 of the trail and then went to look at other monuments like the old north church (in the pic) this is the church that the lights were hung to tell paul revere what path the british army was taking to concort. they were going there to go take the wepons that the colinests were storing. the colinests army was all farmers and yet they won and ambushed them all the way back to boston. -Matthew
