Headed out to Boston/Salem/Topsfield next week.

Will wander around where my Puritan ancestors first set up shop in
America. (ggggggg...Great Grandpa Zaccheus' house is on the national
register of historic places in Topsfield, as is another
gggggggg....grandfather's barn)

Going to visit Old Ironsides (she's moored in Boston, right?)

Since I seldom get back to the right hand side of the country, are
there any other "must sees" during a few days in Boston?

Hey if you want and depending on when you are in the Salem area, let
me know and I'd be glad to come up and take you for a tour of Salem
and the surrounding area including Marblehead where the famous
painting "Spirit of '76" resides. I would love to hook up with you
and show you the sites where I grew up including where the keel of the
Constitution was layed. I can also show you where one of the more
infamous incidents in Marblehead history was accomplished - and to say
that I was involved in it, directly, would be an understatement. :)

In Salem, they've redone a lot of the downtown area, along with
Marblehead. If you want really good seafood in a harbor type
atmosphere, try The Barnicle in Marblehead. Right on the water, you
get a great view of some of the famous yacht clubs - Eastern,
Corinthian and up by Chandler Hovey park, George O'Day's castle and
the Boston Yacht Club.

I'll even buy dinner - or lunch - take your pick.

I'll need to check itinerary with the wife and the daughter, but dinner
might be fun. (Dutch).
