Travel
to Massachusetts
Massachusetts is bordered on the north by New
Hampshire and Vermont; on the west by New York; on the south by Connecticut and
Rhode Island; and on the east by the Atlantic Ocean. At the southeastern corner
of the state is a large, sandy, arm-shaped peninsula called Cape Cod. The
islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket lie to the south of Cape Cod.
A favorite historical place to visit is
Boston.
This beautiful city is absolutely filled with historical significance. When you
take the blue trolley tour, you learn so much about the city and everything
that occurred there in the history of America. You can see the grave of Mother
Goose and stand in front of the North church where Paul Revere saw the lanterns
signaling the coming of the British. John F. Kennedy's first apartment is along
the tour as is the "Cheers" bar that spawned the award-winning TV series.
Boston Common offers tourists the opportunity to ride the lake in their famous
swan boats, and Faneuil Hall Market Place is a spectacular place offering not
only great food and shopping, but entertaining street performers and
musicians. |
