I live my life, not your life.

Boston [96th day]

Hi. It's Illinois Panda.

Today was the first day of the trip to the East coast. I leave Chicago at 6 am and landed in Boston at 9 am. Considering the time gap between them, I flew for about four hours. I couldn't sleep very well at the airport so I fall asleep when the plane was,s in the air. After arriving in Boston, we headed to Trinity Church downtown. It is a very popular Catholic church located at the center of the city. We looked inside in a group tour, learning its history and how it was made. The windows and the ornaments inside were sophisticated and amazing.

Then, I had lunch and went to the public library. It is called Boston Public Library. It stores tons of historical books and many university students studied there very hard.

After visiting the library, we walked on the Freedom Trail. It's a sightseeing load through the cities and you can find the sightseeing spots if you walk along this trail. After finishing walking for a long time, we got to MIT and Harvard. As you know, these universities have been one of the top universities all over the world. I didn't know but they are close just 15 minutes by bus between them. Each of their campuses has its specialties and is attractive.

After visiting the universities, we had dinner downtown and went back to the hostel. I walked almost 40,000 steps today, and I'm pretty tired and sleepy. I need to get up at 5:30 am tomorrow, so I'll go to bed early.

こんばんは。昨日犯罪が怖くて空港で寝れないと言っていましたが、僕以外に人が見当たらなかったのと人間の睡魔があまりにも強かったせいで、3時間くらい寝てしまいました。ただ肘掛け付きの椅子に寝転んで寝たので身体中がバキバキになって起床しました...。さて日本語パートでは旅行の一番の醍醐味である、食事を紹介します。

まず、お昼ごはんは、ローストビーフバーガー。美味。こちらは特にボストン関係なし。

おやつにボストン名物のCannoliです。中のマスカルポーネクリームみたいなのがすごく美味しかった。

晩御飯はロブスターバンズとクラムチャウダー。ボストンといえば海鮮が有名で、中でもロブスターとクラムチャウダーが超有名なので、とりあえずこのふたつを抑えておきました。焼肉食べ放題一食分くらいの値段したけれど、ロブスターものすごく美味しかったので大満足です。
