It is Monday and we had a fantastic weekend in and around Boston. On Saturday morning we got up early and took the train to Revere Beach. It was a beautiful, sunny day and the beach was not too crowded! There were some immense sandcastle figures that were created for a contest that were amazing. The ocean was a bit cold but most of went swimming anyways! We had a picnic on the beach, played some rugby,cards, soccer and even danced. Jeremy also showed some of the students show to do Tai Chi.It was a fun and relaxing day for everyone.
Saturday night after we ate together in the residence, we went to see a hip hop peace concert outside. It was a cultural experience with all kinds of people. We took a walk to the North End of Boston called " Little Italy" where there was a street fair to celebrate a feast day. There were many booths with games, and a group playing music where we danced. It was very festive with lots of lights and interesting food and people.
Sunday we all slept in, which everyone was happy to do! After brunch we went to the park with our paints and did some watercolors of Boston. Then Jennifer led a game with the group which was alot of fun.Each small group had 10 apples that they had to take to different stores and trade for any item they could get from the shopkeeper. The students came back with alot of different things like belts, books, posters, other fruit! There was a huge rainstorm with hail that made for an exciting run back to the residence!
Today we are having class again and going for the last visit of Boston. Some of us are going to play some sports in the Commons, some are going to the Museum of Comtemporary Art and others are coming with me to visit my sister's business in the south end where she is a Fashion Designer and will show us a small tour of the fashion industry! Tonight we are having a Talent Show which we are excited about!
Tomorrow we are getting up early to take a coach ride for four to five hours to New York City. Everyone is looking forward to our next city. Tomorrow night we have planned to take some of the students who chose to go to see a concert of Kanye West at Madison Square Garden, and the others will go to see a Broadway Musical called " Rent," which is a modern story of La Boheme with fantastic music. We are also excited to see our Country Director Janet in New York and spend some time with her!
Talk to you soon!
