Fieldtrip

Last Wednesday we went on our first field trip. The main topic was the Boston harbour. Its importance and contribution to the city's economy and the development from a dirty, smelling harbour to one of America's most beautiful and cleanest ones.

Before getting on the ferry, we had a brief historic introduction. Afterwards we took a cruise through the harbour passing by the many different unique harbour islands. Boston's citizens, or who ever named the islands seemed to be very innovative and creative people. These talents are emphasized by the ground-breaking names of the islands. The longest one is called Long Island, whereas the green one is called Green Island.

After we have passed by the tiny pieces of land, we made our way to Quincy, a little city half an hour away from Boston. After several minutes we returned to the harbour of Boston, were we landed again.

We finally took a walk to Faneuil Hall were our trip ended.
