Hello, everyone! How’s your weekends?? And a busy week is beginning again!

The field trip has passed for a week!!! But I’m still keeping a fresh memory~

2 weeks ago, when I heard the news of having a field trip, I was so excited and looking forward to it. I have been living in inner land for my whole life, so it’s very excited for me to have a small trip on a boat!

The weather was great~!! But I never thought that when the boat is speeding up, how strong the wind will feel!!!! If you ask me what’s the most impressive thing that day, I will definitely say the wind!!!!

At the beginning, professor Bruce made a brief introduction of the Boston Harbor. It was amazed to me that the first lighthouse of the US was built in the Boston harbor in the early 18th century. And I couldn’t believe such a clean harbor was once seriously polluted. In 1773, a group of colonists in Boston threw ships of tea into Boston Harbor for officials in Boston refused to return tea taxes. I can’t imagine how hard it is to make this harbor clean as now after the tea party event.

When I just came this city, I never thought there are so many islands around this city. And among the 34 islands, the Long Island really impressed me. To be honest, the reason why I like it the most is its shape! For I have seldom seen a real island, and I always shape an island as a circle. It’s same to that I like Italy, because it’s just like a huge boot step in the ocean.

One more thing, I really love the small villas along the harbor!!! They’re so cute!!! How I wish I could someday live in one of them……away from the noise and stress.

Ok~ it’s too late ~~ good night guys~

See you tomorrow~
