Feed back of our little last trip

Hello everyone

It’s the time for the all of us to share our differents thoughts about this first field trip!

Every thing started on September 22sd in the Quincy Market area. We all took the boat and at this time our nice trip through the Boston Harbor Islands begin. The weather was perfect to learn about our new environment.

You have 34 islands that constituted the harbor and that were a part of the National Park since 1996. At the beginning, they were forming a big glacier (1 mile high) which carried huge rocks on it. The first island, we have passed in front was the Airport which represent 3 islands actually. Then we continued our trip and were passed by the Cosco boats and containers, which are a Chinese cargo company. Then we could see, Long island (because it is long) or Spectacle Island (because it looks like a pair of glasses). During all this trip I was wondering how the harbor could be so clean and well maintained. In fact, in the south of France Harbors are so dirty you have plastic bag everywhere and it is not a such big one than the Boston one so the question was killing me. Mr. Bermann answered to that very easily: the water treatment, which is based on the “clean water act” in 1972. It is important to keep this Harbor clean, because it is one of the pillars of Boston’s economy and so a part of New England.

The other key sources of the Boston’s economy are also:

- real estate

- Tourism

- Financial Hub

As for me this trip was really interesting, for some reasons. First, seeing a city from the sea is so much different and really interesting because you see thing you have never seen before. Second, as Boston my new city for 1 year, it is good to learn about it, and this trip made me closer to the city. To conclude, It was very nice to spend this trip with you guys from all over the world and also learn about each other cultures and countries. Cant wait to see u all on Wenesday

Cheers xx
