Last Friday (May 16) Pastor John Beals of Immanuel Baptist Church took us and Brian and Johanna Hanson on a walking tour of Boston. We saw Park Street Church, John Cotton’s grave, the site of the former shoe shop (now a Staples store!) where Moody was converted, John Winthrop’s grave, Mary Chilton’s grave (passenger on the Mayflower), the graveyard where Increase Mather and Cotton Mather are buried (didn’t see the actual gravestones). We also saw sites associated with Paul Revere (house, the church where lanterns were hung and his grave), the tomb of John Hancock and the USS Constitution (“Old Ironsides”). Boston is chocked full of history, both national and religious. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour, though our feet were a bit weary by the end. And do you want to know what was Micaiah and Miriam’s favorite event of the day? The subway ride in and back out of town!
