This weekend we explored downtown Boston ,the site of several buildings that played an important role in American history during the colonial period. You can easily follow the Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile, brick-lined route that leads you to 16 historically significant sites — each one an authentic treasure.
Explore museums and meetinghouses, churches, and burying grounds. You can either take the Freedom Trail tours or explore the area by yourself.
We parked at the Faneuil/Quincy parking space for about 3 hours which is at the center of downtown Boston.
Although parking is quite expensive(we paid $36 for 3 hours parking), it is however more convenient exploring the sights of Boston from here.
Faneuil /Quincy Market We started touring Boston at the
Faneuil/Quincy market which has many shop,restaurants and entertainers it looks like a mini exhibition place.
After having lunch at the Market, we headed off to The Boston massacre site which is also where the State House is located.
The Boston Massacre markerOn the night of March 5, 1770, members of the British Army killed five civilian men in Boston. This incident is known as the Boston Massacre, and is also called the Boston Riot.
Before the “The Boston Massacre” name became common, the incident was also called The Bloody Massacre in King Street. Its funny but it all started from a wig! The Massacre started when young wigmaker's apprentice named Edward Gerrish called out to a British officer on duty, Captain Lieutenant John Goldfinch, that he had not paid his master's bill.
The State HouseKnown today as the Old State House,is the oldest public building in Boston. This building was the center of Boston ’s civic life in the 18th century and the scene of some of the most dramatic chapters in the lead-up to the American Revolution.
Within these walls, Samuel Adams, James Otis, John Hancock, and John Adams debated the future of the British colonies. Just outside the building, five men were among the first casualties of the battle for independence, in what would later be known as the Boston Massacre. The Declaration of Independence was proclaimed from the balcony to the citizens of Boston in 1776. History happened here.
Union Oyster HouseAnd finally, we capped the day with dinner at the quintessential restaurant Union Oyster house where former US President John F Kennedy dined.After all,it is America's Oldest Restaurant.
“Badlands” is a geological term for an area of soft rock devoid of vegetation and soil cover that has become molded into a rolling landscape of rounded hills and gullies. This type of formation is not very prominent in Ontario, which makes this site very rare.
Areas like this are much more popular in Southwestern USA. This particular “badlands” is full of red hued rolling hills. It feels like you are on the surface of Mars. The badlands are a popular hiking destination that offer a beginner-intermediate level hike coming in at 11 km. It is also a very popular spot for photographers since this geology is so rare in Ontario. 
Caledon has become known as a retreat for the rich. Many of Toronto’s wealthiest residents have country homes in Caledon. This list includes Norman Jewison and the Eaton family. Although not from Toronto, Elton John is also rumoured to have an estate in the area. It is also Canada’s safest town as rated by Maclean’s.
There were so many installations that they divided it into three zones , Zone A being Torontos City Hall where we spent most of the night. 
At Nathan Philip Square, a choir was singing amidst a crowd that didnt know where to go.It seems everyone was there just to make an excuse for being out in the cold autumn night.
We then headed down to the City Hall Basement Parking lot where Mayor Ford and all city employees would normally park their cars daily. It was transformed into a Museum For the End of the World 
This is the first time I attended an art show or exhibit where I had to ask myself is this art or just boredom? First of all there were three live art shows where people where either bored, 
sleeping 
or dead. 
There were also art installations that I didn't know what to make of..... pieces of meat on the cement
heap of candies in a corner 
and there were these different drums field with different hologram art subjects 
The only saving grace was this centipede like illuminated art 
and this mosaic of tiles in the street 
But despite that everyone was having a real good time just queueing up and walking around. 
Its not really the art,people just want to walk around a good excuse to walk and get together since majority of the main streets of Toronto were closed just to allow the crowds to gather.
