| Cute Beacon Hill |
One place that I liked was Orchard House where Alcott family had lived in. I had been looking forward to visiting there, because we've read the book Little Women in our reading class. When I saw the house at first, I was surprised. Contrary to my expectation, it was an old and tiny house. First, I went to the gift shop, which was next to the Orchard House. It was small, too. There were many kinds of souvenirs, for example, books, pens, postcards, accessories and food. I've wanted to buy the original book Little Women, but it looked very heavy. Although I was at a loss, eventually I didn't buy it. After that, I had a guided tour around the house. Her explanation was easy to understand for me, so I could learn a lot of things about the house and family. I was especially excited about the interior design, because the furniture and wallpaper were pretty. It was a wonderful and valuable tour.
The other place that I was impressed with was Beacon Hill. It was a cute place and all of the things that I saw there were very pretty! For example, I saw brick houses, brick roads, lamps and shops. They were fashionable and I was very excited. First, we visited Acorn Street. This is a famous street for acorns. There was a gold color acorn on the front door of each house. They were so cute. Then I saw bootscrapers outside of the doors of some homes. They were used to clean muddy shoes. I have never seen this kind of thing before. I thought it is a good idea. Beacon Hill is also a rich neighborhood, so residents are wealthy people and almost all of them have dogs. While we walked around there, we saw many dogs. Next, we went to see the house of Louisa May Alcott. She lived at 10 Louisburg Square with her father from 1885 to 1887. I had already seen Orchard House, so I was surprised at the differences of two houses. I really liked the area, so if I had money, I would like to live there in the future.
The other wonderful place I visited was the Quincy Market. It is near Boston's waterfront and famous for as a huge shopping place. It was a part of the Freedom Trail, so we went there after we walked the trail. There were a lot of visitors and I was excited at the bustling atmosphere. First, my friends and I were hungry, so we ate a lobster roll. A lobster roll is a famous sandwich in Boston and some of my teachers recommended we eat it. Although it was a little expensive for me, I ate it. It was delicious and I was really glad to eat it. I want to eat it again. Then we looked around at many shops and bought some souvenirs. I especially liked Crabtree & Evelyn, which was a cute and fashionable shop with many kinds of goods, for example, body creams, soaps, perfumes and food. We could try some cookies and shortbread in the shop, and I tried a shortbread. It was very tasty, so I bought it for my souvenir. After we left there, we saw a strange restaurant. Some of the customers wore a long white hat. Some of them wore a balloon. I couldn't understand what they were doing, but they seemed happy and enjoy their lunch. Quincy Market was one of my unforgettable places on this trip.
I think Boston was an interesting and fascinating place. The time I had in Boston became an excellent memory for me.
