It's like AP History but Real

Day 2: 

 

I'm in Boston!!!!!!! I really love it here. The atmosphere has something about it that I just feel at ease. Yesterday we visited Quincy Market. I looove it. Like, there is so much food to choose from. This past year I took AP U.S History. This trip has made my nerdy self so happy.😺 We visited these places that had stuff to do with the Boston Tea Party and the founding fathers of this nation. I knew a lot of the stuff that the tour guide talked about and was just happy with myself that I got something out of the class. He talked about the Boston Tea Party and our founding fathers. He also mentions Samuel Adams who I remember a lot about from my class. At dusk we went on this ghost tour. I was so stoked and wasn't scared in the slightest on account that I don't believe in ghosts. I just find that stuff cool and found the tour to be hella rad.

Reflection 7/28

 

So yesterday we visited Salem. It is famous because of the Salem Witch Trials. I learned a lot about it in my English class and in my AP U.S. History class. In English we read The Crucible by Arthur Miller. I remembered a lot from it. We visited the Salem Witch Museum and the exhibits were kinda cool. I bought a mug that was like a cat. We saw this memorial kind of thing that had the names of the innocent people accused of witchcraft. I recognized the names Rebecca Nurse and John Procter who were hung and Giles Corey who was pressed to death. It is one thing to learn the stuff in a classroom than to actually be where it happened and see the names in front of you like that. It made it more real to me.
