Freedom Trail

The "Freedom Trail" is a road paved with red bricks, starting from the oldest Boston Common in the United States and ending at the Bunker Hill Monument, including the Boston Common, the Boston Public Library, the old State Capitol, the Granay Street Church, Quincy Market, and so on.

Harvard University

As one of the most famous institutions of higher education in the world, Harvard University is located in the city of Cambridge, a few kilometers west of Boston. There are many historic buildings and beautiful gardens on campus, and visitors can visit the Harvard Museum, the Harvard Museum of Natural History, and Harvard Memorial Hall.
While walking around the campus, I came across an exhibition with the theme of suicide. A large grassy area was filled with school bags, each representing a person who had studied at Harvard but had chosen to leave this world.
On top of each bag is a piece of paper with a picture and life story of its "owner" on the front. The photos are full of smiling faces, celebrating birthdays with family and friends, vacationing at the beach, or standing upright in a Harvard logo gown. Everyone has enviable achievements and titles, and is an elite in the eyes of society.
On the back of the paper are family or friends' tributes and memories of the person, with everyone asking "why"? Most of them are monologues from mothers:

"Why would someone who had a bright future, who told me he was happy in life, who had achieved so many remarkable things, suddenly leave me?"

05 New England Aquarium

The New England Aquarium is one of Boston's most popular tourist attractions and one of the largest aquariums in the world. Great fun for those who are willing to watch!
Walking for an hour and a half is not finished, but time is tight so hurry to go, unfortunately, some aquariums did not look carefully.

There are no tunnels like that, but there are very tall cylindrical aquariums like p9, and you can go up around the aquarium.There are two kinds of penguins and a sea lion show. The aquariums are also very beautiful, and you can learn a lot from a close look at each aquarium and the explanation beside it. Even without the explanation, each aquarium is beautiful and exquisite

The sea lion show doesn't happen all the time, but we got there and waited five minutes for it to start, which was kind of a coincidence. The specific performance time has not been checked, it should be on the official website. All in all, it was worth it.

Boston Harbor
Boston Harbor is a highlight of the city and one of the oldest urban ports in the United States. Harbour islands such as George Island, Wonder Island and Lovells Island are numerous, each with its own unique scenery and charm. The third floor is the top floor you can look around, but there will be a lot of people, you can go to the bow deck of the first floor! Because his family keeps their bow pointed in the direction of the whales! In the middle, the boat will stop and go, giving tourists enough time to take photos and video whale watching, about an hour and a half to two hours to whale watching, and then start back, and luckily we saw a lot of whales this time

Fenway Park

It is the home stadium of Boston's famous professional baseball team, the Boston Red Sox, and one of the oldest professional sports venues in the United States. In the stadium outside the Red Sox souvenir shop like a big supermarket, a variety of, dazzling souvenirs, bought a super many! The Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees are my two favorite baseball teams, so this is where I have to clock in. Unfortunately, there are no games at this time, so I'll come back next summer to watch the games.
