Land o' a Thousand Dunkin' Donuts

We walked the Freedom Trail today. It's a special walking tour in Boston that guides you past 27 Dunkin Donuts. It also takes you to a number of significant historical sites including the Granary Burying Ground; the location of the first American public school; the Old South Meeting House; the Old State House; the site of the Boston Massacre; Faneuil Hall; Paul Revere's House; and the Old North Church where signal lanterns were hung - one if by land, two if by sea - and launched the Revolutionary War.

We had lunch at one of my favorite restaurants back in the day: Durgin-Park at Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Though it used to be staffed by the rudest waitresses, the wait staff has become quite eager to please - unfortunately. However, the food remains excellent and I still give the place five Hobbits. I enjoy most clam chowder, but this was the best I've ever tasted. I felt sorry for everyone packed into the "Sam's Cafe at Cheers" next door thinking they were having a Bostonian experience. The real deal was just a few yards away at Durgin-Park.
