Greetings from Boston

Hello again from Boston!
It's been a busy and fun week with our Abbey Road Students! We went to the Museum of Fine Arts to enjoy the many exhibits including one on Sumo Wrestling, Art from Greece, mummies from Egypt and an ancient collection of musical instruments. We were able to see Boston from a bus that turned into a boat- called a "duck" and you will see some of them driving the boat in the harbor. We learned that these boats were brought to Normandy during WW2 by the Americans to be used on the land and sea.
We took the subway to Cambridge to have a tour of Harvard University and visit Harvard square. Ask them when they retrun home how to speak like a Harvard student!!! The evenings have been filled with an adventure in a haunted house, a classical concert of Stravinsky's " Rite of Spring" and an lively " american music" concert performed on a barge in Boston Harbor by a blues band. Some of us even danced!
There has been plenty of time for shopping in various places like Fanueil Hall and the enormous Prudential Center and Copley Plaza. We have also been enjoying our morning group meetings, exciting classes with activities in the city. Often you can hear singing outside the rooms at night. Some have been practicing sports, going to the gym and playing games in the park.
We are going to the beach tomorrow to swim in the Atlantic and have a picnic. The students are practicing for a talent show for monday night before we pack up and take a coach to New York.
Everyone is speaking more english each day and we are all enjoying learning something new about each other whenever we can.
More later!
Aloha from your Director Tracy
and Teachers Jeremy, Jennika and Jennifer
