The Freedom Trail


This Friday we went to the Freedom Trail for our exploring american course. This trip was long but exciting. The weather was extremely hot. Most of us could not bear with that.
There are many interesting places, the first one is the one of the oldest church, which is like the "Big Ben" in British. It is old, but works. The pointer runs specifically, it is very rare for us to perceive such strong feeling about the relic. It has made a deep impression on my mind.
The second stop is cemetery. It is big and contains many gravestones here. Many anonymous Americans devote their lives in order to keep the democracy and freedom, the same as American founders' ideals. They fought hard and long in this campaign that most of us could not begin to image. Americans are better off of the brave leader, "the father of the United States", George Washington.
Next is about the King's Chapel. It is founded in 1686. Its first building was the first church of England. Inside this church, a strong sense of solemnity seizes me. The chairs are separated like the layout in a train. It is so special. One "room" contains a trihedral surrounded sofa. Maybe at that time, the senators probably had a meeting here.
At the way, there are two huge skyscrapers lying ahead of us,citizen bank and bank of america. It is so high that we could not see the top under the sunshine. The transparent windows are very beautiful and attract most of the tourists' attention.
Then we went to the quincy market to have a break. There are plenty of visitors from all over the world. It is famous for its Cate, many restaurants and shops make it possible to meet the need of both girls and gourmands.
Although the weather is too hot and we did not finish our plan, undoubtedly, it is an exciting and impressive trip.
