The field trip of boston harbor

Hi guys,
Last wednesday we went to the boston harbor for field trip,it was a really nice day to have our journey,and also it was the moon's festival of China.

I been dreaming about taking a boat go out for sailing,but my first time,which was the last time, went to sailing wasn't a very pleasure experience,beacause I been sick for the whole trip...while this time was different,the wind were not that strong,so the ship wasn't waving very intensively,I really enjoyed the field trip.

Our trip began at the Marriott Long Wharf,which is locate at boston harbor district.After professor Bruce gave a short brief introduction about boston harbor,we got on a boat all the down to the Fore River shipyard.The most amazing thing was that there is the USS Salem resting in the harbor!

It was a awesome trip,I really appreciate that I have this chance to see what boston is like.What makes boston wealth and prospect?Definitely,the industry of education.In Chinese we say：读万卷书，不如行万里路.Literally it means traveling ten thousand miles is better than reading ten thousand books,while I think it means travelling is a good way to experience life,to make our knowledge vivid.The field trip made me fully understand the histroy and geography of boston harbor.Unfortunately it seems the association of chinese education has already forgot that words.

Anyway,back to our topic,at the end of the trip professor talked about the "big dig", a project was developed in response to traffic congestion on Boston's historically tangled streets,finally resulted in the most expensive highway project in the US,and related to" criminal arrests,escalating costs, death, leaks, and charges of poor execution and use of substandard materials."(wikipedia)

To conclude my essay,I should say 1:4:3 boston!
I fell in love with boston at first sight!
