D10
Argh... wake up at 5am ! Too early for me !! We arrived at
PATH around 6am and waited for our bus.
We leaved at 7 am and 4
hours later we were in Boston. The weather wasn’t better than in
NY but it wasn’t raining so…
We took the Boston subway and searched for the
Hostelling International. The subway is funny, it looks like little trolley.
We
checked in at he HI and started our discover of Boston. There's one thong you have to know about Boston : they are really proud of their city and all the historical past of Boston. In Boston, History is never far !! In their mind, it's just impossible to leave somewhere else. Oh, and they are also proud of their basketball and baseball team : the Celtics and the Red Sox !
We started by commonwealth avenue
and the great green mall. It was beautiful : little houses, trees, flowers.
It
was a such different atmosphere than in NY. It was so calm, so green. We stood
a moment in Boston Common, the great park of Boston. There’s one thing really great in Boston for tourists. In the city, there’s
a line, a red line which cross all the city and make stop when there is
something cultural or historical to see. It’s called the Freedom trail. During
4,8km we saw the Boston’s treasures.
After Boston by foot, we’ve seen Boston from the top of the Prudential tower. The 360° view of Boston is really impressive.
From the
airport to Fenway park, from the islands to Harvard…And at night it’s amazing
!!
We went back to the HI and did a little stop.
We went to our first McDo of the trip and as we can supposed, everything is
bigger than in France.
We also met our roommate in the HI a really
nice girl.
