First trip, but definitely not the last one

It was really an amazing class last time and it's also the first on-boat class in my life(As well as the rest of my life,maybe).


The trip was an unforgettable experience which includes a nice breakfast in that Starbucks(The Double-chocolate Brownie there was fantastic), a lovely weather(not like this week), a fancy double deck boat, a series of beautiful islands with graceful or funny names, and a lot of stories about how do all this happened in the history of Boston Harbor.


What impresses me most was the value towards to envirnment and the resolution to completely change it of the government. They spent huge amount of money to clean the water and change the entire harbor from the dirtiest harbor to the clearest. Obviously, all the environment investment have already paid for themselfs. The real estate prospers because of the magnificent seaviews which conduce to the dreamed houses of most people , and the tourism .They all benefits from the improvement of the environment in Boston harbor. Furthermore, the intelligent idea of freezing the land in the "big dig" project really amazed me, it is not only a smart and daring idea but also a big decision made by the government. I think it all comes from the innovation of this city benefits from the advanced educational atmosphere.


I drew a picture about the trip we experienced right after last class, but I haven't find a scanner so far to put it in this blog. So I just drew another one on my laptop and here it is:




Mr. Berman said the next trip gonna be on the top of the tower at quincy market. I believe that must be a quite different view of this city compared to boat tour. So, look forwarding the next trip and hope that will not be the last trip for this semester!
