We went to Boston at the crack of dawn this morning to meet some Sri Lankan folks from Maryland, including a ‘cousin’ and his family, who wanted to tour Boston on their way back home from Acadia National Park in Maine.
One of the ladies, like so many female Sri Lankans in the U.S., was a Montessori teacher. She was anxious to see the ‘First Public School‘ site. I was not familiar with it. Like so many locals my familiarity with Boston’s famed Freedom Trail didn’t extend much beyond ‘Faneuil Hall‘ and the ‘Old State House‘. But, of course, it was easy enough to find on the Web.
After doing the obligatory State House, Faneuil, Quincy, Aquarium, Waterfront we wended to the location. Was easy enough to find. Just a few blocks over from the ‘Old State House’.
She was disappointed. She thought that the building would be still standing or that at least there would be a replica. Alas, no. Just an easy-to-miss plaque on the wall and the lovely mosaic inlaid into the sidewalk. But, it was worth it.
If you are by the State House walk the extra 400 yards to see the site. You can then tick it off the secondary bucket list.

See July 15, 2013 post as to why I have cut back the rants to one or two a day.
#138. During the last two nights I have noticed that scrolling down any of the lists, PLAYLIST or TO DO LIST, has become very jerky and erratic. Yet, another damn irritation.
#139. All the movie channels about 540 (or thereabouts) are getting juggled. I hate this. You get to know a sequence of Channels and these F*kers change it. Can’t even read the GUIDE in that region. Every other line is ‘this channel is being moved … ‘ damn message. Damn DirecTV.
#140. Went to Boston for the day to meet some folks. Would you believe it … what the f*k was following me as I walked the beautiful Boston harbor waterfront. The bloody, damn, F*ing DirecTV bloody blimp flashing annoying bloody messages. It really ruined my afternoon. Bloody blimp. Bloody DirecTV.
