On thursday, I was lucky enough to meet up with my cousin Andrea who was passing through the city on business with two of her co-workers.
We had quite a crew gather for dinner in the north end - brother Dave and sister-in-law Rebecca, cousin Andrea and her co-workers Jackie and Chad, and myself! Andrea and her coworkers had never been to Boston before so after a delicious italian dinner Dave and Rebecca led us on a walking tour of the area.
We saw Paul Revere's house, the statue of Paul in the Paul Revere Mall (pictured below), and the famous North Church (also pictured below) where lanterns were placed signaling the Redcoats are coming. As you may recall, the code for the lantern signal was "one if by land, two if by sea".
We then proceeded into the downtown area of boston by the old state house (pictured below in the foreground), one of the few British built buildings left in the city. I was surprised to find out, that the lowest level of this historic building serves as the entrance to the subway!
We also stopped by Faneuil Hall for a photo opportunity! 
At this point, Dave and Rebecca headed home, and I took Andrea and her co-workers to Harvard Sqaure for some drinks! A great evening with family and new friends!
