Other activities in Boston

besides pubcon

Hi everybody.
Wonder if someone is staying longer then pubcon lasts and if there are any plans further.

Personally bought a ticket for Red Sox vs. Devil Rays and thinking about taking my diving equipment with me to make some dives in Boston Harbour. By the way, is it good place to dive?

If there are any history buffs out there, there's a TON of American history places/information/anything to soak up. As you stated, the Sox are in town. Visit the Aquarium, the Science Museum, the historic North End (the "little Italy" of Boston), check the Symphony Hall schedule, visit the top of the Hancock Tower, the Prudential Center... I could keep going. What are your interests? Sorry, I'm not a diver.

Thanks mattglet.

Of those historical things you mention I'm planning to walk Freedom trail.

Heard that Quincy Market is worth a visit, but dunno what it is :-).

And can I ask one thing (without looking too stupid) what is Boston Tea Party?

what is Boston Tea Party?

Unless there is an actual attraction there... The Boston Tea Party was an event, not a thing. It marked the start of the American Colonials rejecting British taxes (The British were putting a levee on Tea, so everyone in Boston decided to tip all the tea crates overboard).

It was all quite civilzed at the time, but the war of Independence followed.

Quincy Market

Great shopping, great food. I recommend it.
