Our day in Boston - Tiarna

Our day in Boston was one of my favourite days in the USA. We got to experience a lot of American culture and learn a bit about American history. It was also one of the most relaxed days where we were able to hang out together and have fun. We got to spend time with one of the really cool rotary members named Craig. 

We followed the red freedom trail around the centre of Boston which told the story of some of Boston’s history. We then visited the holocaust memorial; 6 glass towers built in memory of the 6 million Jewish people killed in the Second World War. This one of the more intense parts of the day where we got a real sense of history.

We then went to eat in a ‘food court’ in Boston which had every kind of food imaginable, from Thai to Ice cream parlours, it was one of the most huge food places I had ever seen and the food was delicious. We then did a bit of shopping and went and got coffee and chill out in the beautiful park in Boston before we done some more sightseeing. It was a tiring but really enjoyable day and the whole group had so much fun

Our day in Boston - Samantha

Our day in boston was hosted by Criag Kellaher, a Hampton Rotary member who wanted to do something for our group! It was a very interesting day as we lernt alot about the history of the city. We also got to see the Holocaust memorial! It was a very heart touching experience, as it was 6 glass towers which had the numbers of the 6 million Jews that where killed in the second world war. 

For lunch we went to a hugh food court, i have never seen so many different foods in one place. After we had lunch we done some more sightseeing and then we went to Newbury street, it was a street full of alot of different, fancy shops. For me the subway we went on was a new experience because I had never been on a train before, especially not one that went below the ground! It was a great day!
