Big Dig & Boston Harbor

Hellooo!!!
Last wednesday I had the most interesting class that I've had since I was a Kid...when the school took you on a field trip for the day you got together with your class mates and you hads thousand different stories for the week! This field trip wasn't that kind of trip but it was pretty interesting.
Everybody sayd that the weather was nice...sincerely I was in the outside and I thnik that it was to windy and very cold in the boat. I didn't catch to much of what the teacher said, but..yuhu!!!it was an outside class!!!hehe
I live in a city where the harbor was the most important source of commerce, but that was when America was discover, so I didn't know to much about harbor's city till last wednesday. It surprised me how clean it was, and later we were told about this huge project of the city of Boston which explained everything.
Besides the harbor I found amazing the Islands. The natural park, the names, the airport heading to the sea... Even though we didn't get to set a foot on one of them and spend the day at the beach for example, we were able to get some idea of what were the islands, how they've helped in the past and how they help today. Today you can visit Harbor's Islands either to walk through nature, have a ggod day at the beach..or you can find some interesting facts, like the huge vasts of water in deer island or the lighthouse in the distance.
After that we arrived to Quincy Harbor. Wow! I do want one of those houses!!or get a ride in the huge navy boat!
Let's get back to Boston.
After we arrived we learnt about the Big Dig. A national project which was 8 times more expensive than planned and took three times the expected time and tons of rats appeared!! But it changed Boston. If you search pics, you'll notice that is a different city. Much cleaner, quieter and nicer.
I hope you enjoyed as much as I did and you learnt a little too!!
See ya next week!!
