On the third Friday after arriving, we got a chance to walk along the Boston freedom trail, which is a red path through downtown Boston, Massachusetts that include 16 significant places of historic interest. It is a long journey that starts from Boston Common to Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown which includes some famous church, landmarks and burying grounds where many ancestors rest here. Huskies are required to meet at 9:00 while I got up at 8:50. It is a great experience to have a hastily wash and rush to the Ruggle station in ten m
inutes.
Actually it is not a good idea to walk 2.5 mile under such a burning sun. We took the green line to Paker Street Station and began at Common, which is the first site on freedom trail.People are divided into two groups and asked to give a presentation about one site which they chose. My topic is Granary Burying Ground, which is the city of Boston's third-oldest cemetery with a gloomy atmosphere. The Old Granary Burying Ground dates from 1660, and contains the graves of many famous people, including eight governors of the early days: Richard Bellingham, William Dummer, John Hancock and many other famous citizens in Boston. Actually I prefer to sit near ashes under shade of trees for a while rather than be exposed under such a scorching sun. What impressed me most is Former Site of the Old Corner Bookstore. Many famous books were published here, including The Scarlet Letter, Walden, and the Atlantic Monthly magazine.
It is a perfect introduction to the history of Boston, and also a great experience to sit beside bones.
