Boston is a fun city and it is close to Amherst, so actually I never really visited the city just because it is too close. After 3 years in US, I did the famous Boston freedom trail yesterday. It would have been much more fun if I had known more about independence war of this country, or if I cared more about it. Obviously, the freedom trail concentrated a lot of shops and vendors with big variety, which made me feel so familiar, just like home town. Tours guides dressed in 18 century costumes, amphibian tours cars passing streets, retired war boats... It was fun.
