Suburbs of Boston,Salem&Concord

I just read this two places in my American Literature class.
And I'm so happy I have been there!

Agu. 2nd, Sat.
We took went to Salem by subway and transfer to bus.
It took almost an hour, Gosh!
Salem is really a small town, but it is not spooky now.
It seems that they only have celebration on Halloween.
We walked to Witch Museum and paid 8 dollar for ticket.
But,,,,,,the museum is not worth a visit.
Then we went to harbor, and there is a "friend-ship." (pun?)
The scenery near harbor was so terrific.
We bought chocolate in the oldest candy store in USA, 
Ye Old Petter Company for our homemom and homedad.
It's tiring, but we had a good time to experience this old small town.












Agu. 18th, Sun. 
Fortunately, it was sunny day.
After class, we took commuter rail to Concord.
The system of train is different from Taiwan, and they checked our tickets after boarding.
It's also a small town, but the atmosphere in Concord was quite tranquil.
We went to "Old North Bridge," where independence war took place.
Oh my God, it's so beautiful and peaceful there.
Like we couldn't raise our voice in case disturb the serenity there.
We took pictures there, and magical things happened...
An American woman asked us,"Do you want to go to Walden Pond? It's my favorite place."
She was so energetic and passionate,so do her daughters and son.
They gave us a lift there, and totally 11 people in her van.
We're really lucky to see Thoreau's house and Walden Pond.
Many people swam in the pond, and it's so amazing.
I can't breath 'cause we're really lucky to have such good experience.
Because we had to catch our train, and the nice woman drove us to train station.
We're sooooo grateful for that.
I will never forget what she said, "I don't spend money on expensive clothes or something.
But I believe in education, and traveling is the best way to receive education."
I agree 100%.
