One if by land, two if by... um, plane?

Massachusetts. The “Spirit of America.” And yet another state I can’t write correctly without spell check.

Touring around Eastern Mass these last few days, I’ve learned a lot about the origins of this land they call the Home of the Free.

In Boston I saw a statue of Samuel Adams (famous for his beer) and the home of Paul Revere (famous for his song with the Beastie Boys). Yes, seeped in American history, this area is.

In Lexington, I saw the place where people gathered and revolted, fighting for what they believed in.

And in Salem, I saw the place where they tried and killed a number of women believe them to be witches.

Ah, America. Well, nobody's perfect.
