0719 the sand sculpturing festival at Revere Beach

~reworte~

On the website Boston.com, I read an announcement of a sand sculpture contest held on Severe Beach, so I decided to go to see the contest. Even though the weather was cloudy on Saturday morning, but the weather did not destroy my weekend travel because the sun came out in the afternoon.

On Saturday, I went there along because I planned this travel suddenly. I took almost one hour to Severe Beach from my home. Luckily, when I arrived at the beach, the weather became sunny. At the middle of the beach, I saw many sand sculptures. I was really excited because it was the first time for me to see this contest of sand sculptures. I was deeply attracted by three of sculptures . First of all, the title of sculpture is Mirror which was made by Sue McGrew, Tacoma WA. There are one man and woman whose bodies near their hearts are broken like mirrors. They are trying to fix the broken mirrors back to origins by their love. Second, Afternoon Daydream which was made by Carl Jara, Cleveland OH, is another sand sculpture I like. This sculpture is a person whose body and head covered by a few pigeons sits on one bench. Every pigeons seem like every dream the person has. The last one is the biggest sculpture. Even though this sculpture did not have name, its topic and details are related to Boston, such as the marks of departments belonged to Boston government, the Boston hokey team mark, and the marks of companies which supported this contest.

In this festival, I really know how artists to make sand sculpture, what tools they used. The most important thing is that I know this beach is the America’s first public beach, because I learned American history a little more.
