3 day at Boston

Today the alarm didn't sound. We were awaken by Dr. Butler's knocks at our door. We rushed to change and then took off for Boston College. After our tour through the university, we went to get ice cream and left for the fire museum. The tour lasted around an hour, and after that we went for dinner and did some shoping. Overall it was a very productive day and I am looking forward to tomorrow.

Second day at Boston

Today was a very exhausting day. We woke up at 7:50 to go eat breakfast. After that we took a 10-minute walk to the Museum of Science. At there we completed a series of challenges using the SCVNGR app. At 12 we gathered up and went to eat. Then we followed the Freedom trail which took us all around important historical places. After that we started the Scavenger Hunt. We were given clues so that we could find a specific location where we were given an other clue, until we got to the last one. It was a very fun game, and my team and me finished first. The part that I remember the most was the Old State House, place where the Boston Massacre took place. It was an awesome experience because I was always told about the massacre since I started studying American history, but being in that place, I felt like I was reliving history. After a very long walk, we were taken to a restaurant were we were given a talk about collages. We did many productive things and had a lot of fun.

1st Day Reflection - Luis Bermudez

Our day began too early for anyone's taste. We had to wake up at 3 a.m. and we were to arrive to the airport at 4:20. Even though people were extremely tired, resembling zombies looking for brains, the first opportunity to rest would not come until 2 hours later, when we boarded the plane. We flew 2 hours with destiny to Phoenix, a flight where most of us slept while some watched movies. After finally getting off the plane (which was too small for a large group like us), we walked to our next plane, with the final destination of Boston. We boarded and prepared ourselves mentally for the challenge of being trapped in a metal container for 4 more hours. The flight was tedious, but we finally arrived to the place where we would live for the next week. After letting our skin taste the cold winds of the city, we got into a bus that left Group A, our group, in a seafood restaurant at Prudential Center, where we also took a Skywalk in the 50th floor of the building. It was a long day, and only a taste of what's ahead.
