Looking back
Looking back at the trip I really have learned a lot about American independence. Every day was a new set of memorials and with every memorial was a story that went with it. The thing that really got me was when he would tell us that exactly where we were standing a battle was fought, or something was signed that forever changes the way the country looked and was run. It was just crazy to close my eyes and imagine i was that person changing this country. Not only did I learn a lot about American independence I also learned a lot about traveling in a group. Over all I really enjoyed the trip and I did indeed learn a good amount. I am very grateful to have to opportunity to take this trip and I am sure it was be an outstanding moment as I look back and my high school career from collage.

Sadly, our last day
Today we started off the day with a long haul to Salem where he Salem which trials took place. We saw a few haunted houses and memorials to the hung who were suspected of preforming witch craft. After that we went to museum where we learned about a few different topics including: body tattoos, the arctic and arctic animals, ancient silverware. We then preceded to eat lunch at a local deli and get delicious massive blocks of fudge at an outstanding candy shop. We then went to a small town where we spent three hours chilling on rocks and getting pizza. We went straight from there to the play Sheer Madness!! where a ginger murdered an old pianist.
Our second day
Today we started off the day with a trip to BU which stands for Boston University. We were given a guided tour of the campus and an overview on their key academics. We then traveled from there to lunch and then to Harvard where we took a quick unguided tour of the campus. It was fun to see a really old prestigious collage. Later we circled a pond stopping ever couple 100 feet to learn a new fact about our current spot. We ended the night with dinner and a movie at a local mall. It was really nice to relax with a Al Pacino, and Deniro.

Our first real day
Today was our first actual full day in Boston. We woke up early to go to Fenway park where we met up with a crazy park guild who navigated us through the historical structure. After an hour and a half or so of being spit on we left on our bus and went to the freedom trail. After that we visited a church, a cemetery, and a 7/11. We then boarded a ship for our dinner cruse. I think everyone was happy to relax with some food and sea sickness.
