freedom trail

As usual, we take part in the Friday trip, and this Friday, we go along the Freedom Trail which is well-known as a historic walking tour in Boston.

The first station is Boston Common, which is a big park with fresh, verdant landscape. It is almost fifty acres in size. I went there before and enjoyed the sunshine on the lawn. I simply think it is a common park before going there on Friday.

The Granary Burying Ground was found in 1660. What is strange is that it is a cemetery located in the downtown. However, it is not as terror as cemetery in China, on the contrary, it is much more peace and harmonious. Approximately 5000 people are buried there even thought there are only 2300 headstone. I like it because when I go there I can feel the silent and peace. It is really the different world compared with outside.

The First Public School Site and Ben Franklin Status is the first public school in 1635, but nowadays it is transformed as a restaurant and we can eat or drink in it thought perhaps it is a little bit expensive. I like this way because in China, we always make historic house as a tourist attraction but do not use it.
