0711 Tall Ships trip

~reworte~

The weather was sunny today, so I planned to go out and relaxed the tension which was caused by the accounting midterm. In order to find any activity I can participate in, I searched the information on the Boston.com. Tall Ships, which professor Berman mentioned, was the big festival in this week, so I decided to join this activity. After collecting the map, tour price, and schedule of Tall Ships, I went to the Boston Harbor with roommate.

While I was taking subway to Aquarium Station, I heard some people were talking about the activity of Tall Ships. They said it was an important event in Boston and many people who live in other cities or states also came to Boston to enjoy this event. When I arrived in Aquarium Station, I was surprised at the scene I saw. There were many people walking leisurely along the shore of harbor. I thought if I followed the direction which crowd walked to, it was not difficult to find tall ships. It was not expected that I saw the first tall ship after walking several minutes. This tall ship came from France. Even though this ship was not the biggest one, I was amazed at her beauty and spectacular. Like most tourists, I took many pictures of her. I spent all the afternoon to browse all tall ships, and finally I saw the biggest ship. It was berthed at the wharf which was near the world trade center. A lot of visitors boarded on the ship and take a view, but I did not do it because the ticket of visiting the ship was 30 dollars. It was too expensive for me. In this trip, the most exciting thing was that the flag of my country was shown in this activity.
