I've changed my idea of Boston!

Hi everyone!

Hope your week end was great!

A lot of times from when I’m here i talked to some friends that were at home and they asked me a loto f times how was boston, if i liked it and so on…

Before wednesday my impression was: nice city, nothing special a good place were to study but i don’t know if i really like it, but than we went on our field trip!

At the beginning i wasn’t happy at all about this trip, i was thinking of a tour of a dirty Harbour in the middle of a city with a lot of commercial boats and a bad smell, and it was definetly to early in the morning for me!

I had to change my mind as soon as i got out from the t: i saw the port and everything was perfect, nice weather i was with friends and was for sure better than every other else class i had till than!

We took the boat and we went around the islands, we saw the coast, the plane landing and the professor was explaining how all this just few years ago was totally different, how could it be possible? It was really hard with such a landscape to even think how did it look like when the sea was dirty!

It’s incredible to think at the big dig, the highway moved, the cleaning of the Harbour, the costruction of a all Island with the land took away for the dig and all the nice houses on the coast changed all the landscape!

In this moment I’m thinking: we really need something like this in a lot of places in Italy, but i know it is much harder!

I really have to thank the Professor (but also the weather that helped a lot…) cause now I’ve got an other idea to tell to my friends about Boston! Is a great city with people that really care about their bay, the sea and that worked hard to realize a better place where to live!

Hope to do a lot of other field trips so that i can learn much more about the place that gives me ospitality in this semester.

See you soon!
