{Day 1 - Boston}

Hi!

Sorry for the late update, but the Wi-Fi at the hostel was too slow to upload anything, but now I am chillin' at Starbucks and the internet is great.

At 7.25 a.m. we took the train from Tarrytown to Grand Central, after which we walked to 9th avenue and 33 St., to take the bus to Boston. The bus was scheduled to leave at 9.10 a.m., and with like 10 minutes delay, we left New York City. We were traveling with Megabus, which provides Wi-Fi on the bus, so it wasn’t boring :)
At 1.30 p.m. we arrived in Boston in the South Station. We then walked to 40 Berkeley, our hostel for the night. We left our backpacks there and went walking to the city center. We followed the 2.5 mile long Freedom trail, a red brick line going through Boston past all the important sights in and around the Civil War. I took many, many pictures, so I just made a small selection. We also went to the Bunker Hill Monument, a huge tower where a one of the most famous battle in the Civil War was fought. I made a little video of this part, check it out!

After that we went to north Station, where the official Boston Bruins shop is, but we where there 1 minute too late, the shop had already closed. So we decided to take the “metro” down to the Boston Public library and the Prudential shopping center. Well, the Bostonian metro is like the slowest I have ever been in, but we arrived. The Boston Public Library is a beautiful building on Copley Square, with many elegant details :) Then, we went on to the shops, we bought some food, since we were starving and I bought a few postcards at the Papyrus store.
Then, since we hadn’t slept much last night, and had walked a lot today, we decided to call it a night and headed back to the hostel.
Today are going to MIT and Harvard, and late at night we’ll be boarding the bus to Philadelphia :D
Loves!
