Went on my second interview in two days, and although today's was only informational, with my batting average it may be more effective than an actual job interview. I rewarded myself by exploring more of the city.

The first stop was King's Chapel, built in 1754. Back in the days, wealthy families in the congregation would rent these pews for an annual fee equivalent to $150.00 today. Wonder if the orange BOL pews would bring in that much?



King's Chapel burying ground, the oldest cemetery in Boston. Final resting place of prominent citizens including the first mayor of Boston and the first woman to step off the Mayflower, Mary Chilton. I love reading inscriptions on some of these old, half-sunken tombstones. Seeing them makes me think of how finite our lives are here on earth. Even the stones we use to mark our perishing bodies will one day be gone.



In The Scarlett Letter, Hester Prynne's grave was found in the King's Chapel burying ground. Nathaniel Hawthorne supposedly used this tombstone as a model.



Park Street Church. Don't you think his is a very churchy-looking church?



Granary Burying Ground, next to Park Street. In the heart of downtown, and near one of the busiest T-stops. Imagine living or working in the area and passing this treasure trove of history every day on your morning commute.



Tomb of Paul Revere. Aside from fast horseback riding, he was known as Boston's silversmith. The bell at King's Chapel was made by Revere, and is still rung by hand for all church services.



Grave of Samuel Adams. It was so hot today, I kept wishing for a cold bottle of Samuel Adams. And I'm not even a beer drinker.



Massachusetts State House.



Wading pool in Boston Common. I hope the water is chlorinated.



I am starting to get the hang of this here thang called the T. Rush hour here definitely can't compare to rush hour on the 405, one thing about L.A. that I don't miss.
