Just in time, today's Boston Globe
article on Freedom Trail tours, with "Captain Daniel Malcolm - revolutionary, patriot, privateer" giving a tour to some fifth graders:
Quote:
"Are you for Obama or McCain?"
"I can't vote," was Malcolm's gruff dismissal of the inquisitive lad. "I'm dead."

The walking tours certainly give you better history than a book.
Daniel is very correct: watch the Boston weather before you fly in. It can get from too warm to too cold in less than a day. Remember the April Fools Day snowstorm? Wasn't the next day in the 50s? (Still no school -- no one could shovel out!)
