Sometimes grown men like to play dress up

On the Boston Common Sunday there was some sort of patriotic, founding of Boston--revolutionary--Freedom Trail event. There were many tents set up along the lawn with various actors playing the roles of the men and women from olden times (Paul Revere, etc.) In some tents the womenfolk were cooking/eating, in other tents there were people preparing their weapons for battle or maintaining the small hospital/medical tent. I would have stayed and watched some of the activities but I had important tax free shopping to attend to.
