The site of the Boston Tea Party incident is a short walk from the Convention Center.
The Boston Tea Party was a political protest on December 16, 1773, where American colonists, frustrated by British “taxation without representation,” destroyed 342 chests of tea. Led by the Sons of Liberty and disguised as Mohawk warriors, the group dumped $1.7 million worth of British East India Company tea into Boston Harbor.
The Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum had already closed for the day when I got there last night.
I took a few pictures and then walked to South Station at 700 Atlantic Avenue. It is a large train station that serves the MBTA Subway, bus lines and an Amtrak line.

Boston was founded in 1630 by English Puritans seeking religious freedom. It quickly became the “Birthplace of the American Revolution” due to pivotal events like the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. Today, it is a leading global hub for education, healthcare, and technology.
I worked in the Pilgrim hospital in Boston UK as a south african NHS locum radiologiist in 2003 and 2004
Hallo Martin!
Dankie vir die boodskap.
Ek sien Boston, Massachusetts, was Trimountaine en toe herdoop na Boston, die naam van die dorp in Lincolnshire, Engeland, waarvandaan sommiges geëmigreer het.
Ek was vinnig by die Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) kampus ook.
Die MIT Museum is baie interessant (was Maandag toe met Memorial Day maar ek kon darem ingaan met my vorige besoek in Boston).
Hoop dit gaan goed met almal daar.
Groete.
