Here are a few pics of my apartment. This is the dining area and to the left is the kitchen. It's really old but I like these cupboards with the glass doors.
That same evening Paul Revere was sent by Dr. Joseph Warren to ride to Lexington, to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock that British troops were coming. He crossed the Charles River to Charlestown and rode by horse to Lexington.
On the way to Lexington, Revere raised the alarm, many of the patriots set out to help and give the warning too. He arrived in Lexington about midnight. After delivering his message, Revere was joined by a second rider, William Dawes and Dr. Samuel Prescott. All three were soon arrested by a band of British soldiers.
The warning they had given allowed the militia to repel the British troops in Concord, who were harried by guerrilla fire along the road back to Boston.
In Lexington, there is a visitor center where we watched a film about the 'midnight ride' and then did the walk to Meriam's Corner in Concorde and back again. A very enjoyable afternoon! Now I need to find the church where Revere had plotted the signal - one lamp by land, two by sea...
As I walked in Boston yesterday, behind the prudential center and the convention center, I came across this vast expanse of water, which was very pretty in the sunshine. Also in this plaza is the scientology church which is free to go in so may be worth checking out.
