Day 2: Tour of Boston's North End

Today we went into Boston's North End, historically the Italian neighborhood. Many years ago, Dante's father, Charlie, lived in the North End, so it was a bit of a pilgramage.


Here we're waiting for the T at Harvard Square.


First off, we needed to eat lunch. At Pizzaria Regina -- purported best pizza in the North End, if not all of Boston -- we had to wait for a table.


Here we are: happy to be inside and seated.



Dante ordered vegetarian primavera.



True to his word, Casey ate ALL of his 10-inch sausage pizza. Beau and Dante each ate only two-thirds of their respective pizzas.



Outside the Old North Church: "...one if by land; two if by sea..." That church.



Inside the church next to the "William Rideout" pew.



The plaque.



Copp's Hill Burial Ground.



We found Charter Street.



65 Charter Street: Charlie's former residence.



At the waterfront in the North End. Bunker Hill Monument and the USS Constitution in the background.


Looking at the jelly fish in Boston Harbor.



Jellies.


In the rain, standing in front of Paul Revere's house.



We finished up with pastries and gelato.
