We parked in a garage somwehere (can't remember the name now) for $12. Not too bad but we were only in Boston for a couple of hours so it may be more expensive depending on how long you stay. We then met with my cousin and his boyfriend and we began to explore Boston.
We started at the King's Chapel (http://www.kings-chapel.org/) cemetery. Buried here are Paul Revere (apparently, although I never saw his grave) and Mary Chilton (who was the first Pilgrim to touch Plimouth Rock). It was weird to see all of these really old tombstones and to try to picture how everything looked back then. Really interesting. There was a well-type-thing that I was told had something to do with a crematorium and that was really creepy.
From there, we walked towards Starbucks where we waited for quite some time even though it wasn't busy at all. We then walked to Faneuil Hall. There were a few street dancers dancing when we got there. I hate to say it but they weren't any good. There was also a girl dressed and painted entirely in silver who just stood there while people took pictures of her. There was a guy dressed in gold nearby as well. My friend bought a couple of Boston t-shirts for $20 total from a street vendor.
We were a bit hungry so we walked to Quincy Market (http://www.faneuilhallmarketplace.com/) where my cousin had a corn dog and a few of us got frozen yogurt with strawberries. It was really good. We sat down and ate and then decided we should stay only a little longer as the rest of the family at home was waiting for us. We walked around a park for a little while before heading home.
Once we got back to Stoughton, we went to a Portuguese Club for a late lunch/dinner. I had chicken with french fries and it was pretty good.
Soon after, we went home, played board games, and watched TV before we hit the sack.
