When Rachel was here we visited Faneuil (Funnel) Hall which is one of the many stops on the Freedom Trail in Boston. It is located close to the waterfront and is now being used as a market place with little shops inside. Scott read an article that said at one time when there were problems between America and Britain one of the ways they would use to find out whether the person was on the American side or the British side the question was asked, "What is the statue on top of Faneuil Hall?" If they knew the answer they were probably an American patriot. If not, they were most likely a British sympathizer. On top of Faneuil Hall is an 80 lb. gold plated grasshopper! Just in case you ever have to answer that question!
