Each year in early August, the Joint Statistical Meetings are held. This year's meeting was in Boston and I'll be honest, I wasn't looking forward to Boston for some uncertain reason. Once I arrived, I was not initially thrilled -- overcrowded and sort of nasty around China Town. I kept a positive outlook and started exploring. After rekindling my interest in history, I found that I loved Boston.
On an off morning, I took a hike on
The Freedom Trail. This trail led you through the historic developments that shaped Boston's, and the USA's, history. The trail was marked with these inlays and a brick path. Enjoy the photos!
