September 13, 2023 - BOSTON STATE HOUSE & FREEDOM TRAIL

 Day 4 -  : State House & Freedom Trail

by Arane Malatsetxebarria &Maialen Bárcena

Today, Wednesday 13th, we had a trip to Boston. We went with our partners at first hour to high school, but on Wednesdays students have a late start, so most of us were shown the building. At 9.15 we took the yellow school bus to the city and after an hour and a half trip, we arrived in Boston. We had an interesting tour through the State House,  we had fun and the building was beautiful and smart. 

After that, we had some snacks in a park and we started with the second and last tour of the day. The tour guide was dressed up as a 18th century woman and she pretended to be Phillis Weatley, the first American slave, the first person of African descent, and only the third colonial American woman to have her work published. This woman explained us some history from Boston, but sadly she didn’t make it really interesting and catchy, so most of us got a little bored. 

Just before the tour ended, it started to rain, so we didn’t have the chance to have a walk by the freedom trail, but we had a lovely lunch inside a building and we didn’t get wet. 

Then, we got the not-that-confortable bus back to the high school and our host families came to take us back to our houses.

Later in the evening all of us met to have a tasty ice cream at  Marshfilled Hills and we ended the day having so much fun.
