So far, Boston is probably my favorite large city that I have visited. It has an incredibly rich history, lots of artwork and cultural sites to visit, and it's large but it does not have the super fast pace or air of self-importance like New York City.
On this trip I visited the Boston Public Library and saw some incredible murals, Trinity Church in Copley Square, and the North End for some yummy gelato and a cannoli.

A very very yummy cannoli that I intended to take home for later, but only made it halfway through Rhode Island |
