Boat Trip! as the movie.. jajaja

Hi guys!! Ok lets talk about our boat trip… well, I’m here in Jaime’s room trying to write about it (by the way I think it was awesome, I had a great time and I hope we can do more field trips) and I think I need something to drink so my mind starts to work. I’m back here in the room with my coffee and my friend is almost done with the post…


Wednesday 22nd of September was just the perfect day for a trip like we did. It was a sunny day and we got by the Starbucks in long wharf at 8:50 am. We drank a coffee and we were ready for the adventure.


I remember asking Paloma if she was all right that morning because the last time we took a boat (we went whale watching) one person "she" threw-up all around the boat.


Before going into the boat, Professor Berman talked about how important was the sea for the economic development of the city. He explained us that there was a very important building near Quincy Market because the watch of that building was the most technologically developed in USA. Also from that building they could see boats coming to the harbour before others.


After the explanation, we went where the boat was. I was the third one to enter the boat and I run to take a good place in the front part.


The boat started to go out of the wharf and professor Berman told us about the airport at one side and the boats at the other.


Then we started to see a lot of islands (I remark that they are 34). I remember Spectacle Island (that was taller because they used the Big Dig soil), Long island, Moon Island (where police and firemen use to train)… And Castle Island that is not one of the 34.


I also remember talking about the lighthouse, that worked manually and had a special pattern (Professor Berman talked about 1-4-3 and 30 seconds to say “I love you” if I remember well).

The Harbour was very clean and the reason is because they invested $5 billions on the “eggs”, a machine for keeping it clean.


By the end of our way, we reached Quincy Port (I think it was its name) and the teacher encouraged us to find the fertilizer by smelling.


Then, our way back to the harbour, enjoying the see breeze.


That’s all I can say about my experience on our trip. See you in class folks….
