4 miles just for fun in Boston. Just finished reading John Adams and it made me love this city even more than I already did.

If you ever get a chance to tour John Adams's house in Quincy (just south of Boston) it's pretty cool.

I was just reading that his home was still there. I will have to make that trip. I have to tell you something else neat. Last night as I banked the plane around for landing into Boston about 10 miles out in Boston harbor, I noticed a beautiful lighthouse right on the end of my wingtip. I was going to look up its history but this morning I was reading about the original Boston lighthouse that was rebuilt after the British destroyed it and realized that's the one I was turning around for the approach into Boston. I love this city for all the history you live and breath in it.

Boston is a very fun town...to visit anyways and the history is amazing. Cemetaries from the 1500's right next to skyscrapers!

It is a great city full of history, but a marathon that I have never enjoyed!
