Thank you for posting this wonderful rem...Melissa,<br /><br />Thank you for posting this wonderful reminder of our day in Boston. Over the course of the tour, I was reminded several times of the importance and value of history. The real stories of people who came before us really can teach us so many lessons. And in the hands of a master storyteller, it is easy to be transported through time.<br /><br />On this tour I was again reminded that our history does indeed show us how far we have come. It also shows us how far we still have to go. For me, knowing the history of a place creates a connection to that place. I will never see the North End or Beacon Hill quite the same way. And now when I walk past the Civil War Monument across from the State House, I will more fully appreciate it and the artist.<br /><br />It was a wonderful experience. My thanks to you, Anulfo and Alex for sharing it with me.Erica Holthausenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622846645030953520noreply@blogger.com
