New York 2017

Today was a day for being patriotic as we visited Boston and walked the Freedom Trail.  It was a great experience and we walked almost 9 miles and 29 floors.  Our feet were a little tired at the end of the day.  We saw the Old North Church, USS Constitution, Bunker Hill, Paul Revere's home and the grave sites of Sam Adams and Ben Franklin's parents.  We visited several churches where people sit in boxes and actually had to purchase their box seats every year.  (New youth fundraiser?!?!?!)  We got back to the hotel around 10:15 p.m., had devotions and it was bedtime.  Thanks for all the prayers.  So far everything is running like clockwork.  God is good.

It was an early morning as we met at the airport in SD at 4:45.  Boarded our plane and it all looked good until we stopped and had to wait in hour on the tarmac.  That resulted in us being an hour late to Baltimore and we ended up with a pretty brisk walk/jog to our next flight.  All was good into Albany.  Got our rental cars with no problems and had dinner at Red Robin.  We are spending the night in Springfield, MA and look forward to visiting Boston tomorrow.  It is so much cooler here and some of us are worried that we didn't pack enough warm clothes.  See tomorrow for some pics of Boston.

This will be the blog location for our Sr. High Servant Team who will be working in the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York.  The group will leave on June 28 and return on July 7.  Check back for pictures and stories of what we are up too.
