Friday 29th August
Today we went to Cambridge to see the museum of natural history of
Harvard. There wasnt school so there wasnt bus; some cars came and
took us to Braintree and there we took the train to Cambridge.
In the museum there were a lot of interesting and strange things.
Then we went to visit the University of Harvard. It was very big and
beautiful. There a student explained to us a little bit of the history of
that place; it was very interesting.
When the tour finished, we went shopping around Cambridge. We
visited the official store of clothes of Harvard, it was a little bit
expensive but a lot of students (me including) bought some t-shits and
sweat shirts.
Finally we took another train to go back to the High School. There our
families were waiting for us. It was a very funny day.

The Red Sox day
I woke up at eight oclock. It was Sunday, the last day of August and
we didnt have school. This day was very special because we were
going to a baseball game.
When we arrived in Boston, we walked around the street and we saw
many people wearing the Red sox team clothes, scarves, t-shirts, the
green monster (the pet of the team), etc.
When we went into the stadium it looked small, but then we realized
there were thousands of people on their seats. It was really huge.
The game started at half past one and the players went into the field a
few minutes later. When the Red Sox players went out all the Red Sox
fans jumped and shouted, the stadium started to shake!!!!!!! We
thought it was an earth quake, but it wasnt. They were only the Red
Sox fans.
The game was good but we didnt stay very long because the Red Sox
were losing.

Tuesday 2nd September
Today we woke up very early because it was our first day at
school and we had to be there at 7:30. We were at school one hour and
then we caught the school bus to visit Larson Tower. This tower was
built in 1901 to cover the water tank because it was so ugly. Its builder,a person who had a lot of money, built a medieval tower around the
water tank.
After that, the bus left us in the railway station and there we took
the train, or the T in America. We went by train to the Science
Museum but before we arrived, we had to change trains. In the
Museum we spent the rest of the morning and some part of the
afternoon. We visited a lot of galleries and finally we saw a film, Wild
Ocean. And some of us fell asleep.

At 3:15 everybody went back but Rodrigo and I stayed there
because our families were going to pick us up to go to the Red Sox
stadium to watch a baseball game.
We were at the stadium two hours before the match started,
because we met there the Coach of the Red Sox and some players.
They gave us a baseball ball, and they signed it. The match was too
funny and we saw a Home run.
The final result was Red Sox 14 - 2 Oriol Baltimore.

We went to class, and then, when the first class finished, wecaught the bus and went to Boston city.Firstly, when we arrived there, we went to the John Fitzgerald
Kennedy Museum, where we saw all his life.
The State House Then we went to the Massachusetts Court House, where a
woman showed us a court room, and the U.S. Marshalls. It was arecently built building, it is ten years old.
After that, we went to the State House. It was a bit boringbecause we were quite tired as we had got up too early that morning,
so when we finished the State House visit, we went to the Commonand sat down in the grass.
That was an interesting day because of the Court House, but notas the other days.

First we went to the first class and next we went to the library to surf
the net. Afterwards, we took the bus to go to the outlets which are one
hour and a half far from the school.
Wrentham Outlets is a
very big place, like avillage, with a lot of
different kinds of shops.
We were there for four
hours more or less
because the shops had a
lot of different clothes at
very good prices.
We could buy a lot of
clothes like Converse,Levis or Quiksilver, which
were much cheaper than
in Spain.
Later we had lunch at the
food court, where there were a lot
of restaurants. Most of us had
pizza or hamburgers, some of us
even both of them, and we all
bought a cup of coke to refill as
many times as we wanted.
Finally we took the bus back to
school and in the evening some of
us went to the High School to
watch an American football
match.
This was one of the best days of
our stay here. We loved shopping!

Friday, 5th of September, 2008
This was a very tiring day, full of activities but exhausting.
Firstly we woke up at 6 oclock in the morning. After havingbreakfast we went to Scituate high school and we had our first lesson.
Then we left school at 8:45 and we took the bus to Boston
Aquarium. It was fantastic, full of animals and fishes like sharks,
jellyfishes and tortoises. We enjoyed our visit a lot. It was amazing to
see how they fed them.
After this, we went to Quincy Market by bus; we watched the
shops (some of us bought some Boston gifts there), we had lunch
(there were restaurants from all over the world: Japanese, Chinese,French, German, Arabian, American, Italian). When we met all
together to go back, we spent the last few minutes watching a show
of Italian jugglers. At the end of the show our girls took a photograph
with one of the jugglers, because they said that he was quite cute.
At the end we went back to Scituate high school and our families
picked us up to home.

The trip to New York, the visit everyone had been expecting so
much, finally arrived Monday 8th. We set out at 6 in the morning,
rather early so as to be able to take the most advantage possible of
the tripat around 11 oclock, our bus entered the city finally and it
gave us a little ride around it before going to our first appointment,
the UN.
Going to the UN was a very interesting experience. As always, we
had to check our bags and everything before entering, due to security
service, but soon after that a charming South African girl came to
explain us everything about the UN, its goals and the people who
integrate it. We could even visit the General Assembly Chamber,
which was large and spectacular.

General Assembly Chamber. The United Nations
After our tour had finished, we were able to have a look at the gift
shop, which was full of flags of all countries, books, key rings and
other little items. There were so many things that some of us could
find something to take to our family members or friends. When our
tour through the UN organization had finished, the bus picked us up
and we headed to Rockefeller Center, so as to visit the NBC studios
which, according to the schedule, we had to visit at 12:15.
Firstly, we watched a video about the history of the NBC since its
foundation in the 20s. it was very interesting and appealing. Soon
after that, we went to some of the NBCs filming sites, and some of us
had to perform while they were filmed, to show us how it was done.
When the tour finished, we bought the video and a photo at the
entrance as a souvenir.
After this, we went to St Patricks cathedral, also near Rockefeller
Center. Those who were interested visited it while the rest went for awalk along the streets.
At 17:30, when our stomachs were already aching, we headed to
Planet Hollywood, a fancy restaurant where we had dinner while we
could see lots of cinema pictures and video clips. Also, a very
charming waiter served us, and we could take a picture with him at
last!

Tuesday 9th
, we woke up and headed to our first scheduled site, thestatue of Liberty. We had to take a boat to reach the island, and as
soon as we arrived, it started raining cats and dogs! We came back at
11:30, and we decided to go to Chinatown and do a little bit shopping
and sightseeing before going to the empire state building, where we
could take lots of pictures of all the city. It was an awesome
experience, and we wish we could repeat it one day.

Unfortunately, we had to take the bus back to Scituate at 5p.m. but
we had a very nice time at the bus singing, joking and playing.
The trip to New York has been, without any doubt, one of the best
things of the program, as we wish we had been able to spend a week
at least there!

On Wednesday 10th of September we went to Plymouth to see Plimoth
Plantation and Mayflower II. We arrived in the school bus. Plimoth
Plantation is a re-creation of the life of native people and English
colonists in 1627.
First we watched a video and after that we went to the Wampanoag
home site. There we could talk with native people about their culture
and see their houses. They werent role players, they were real native
people.
Then we went to the English village. It was bigger than Wampanoag
home site, and the people were role players. We went into their
houses, and we talked to some people like women cooking or men
working. Finally, we visited the church and we went to the Crafts
Centre. There, artisans reproduce objects from 1627 to use in theWampanoag home site and the English village. We bought some
presents ad we went to the bus to go to Plymouth.
In Plymouth we had lunch and we visited Mayflower II. It is a re-
creation of the Mayflower, the ship that English used to arrive at
Plymouth in 1620. We talked to some sailors and passengers who
were role players, we took some photos and we saw the cabins of the
ship. Finally, we returned by bus to Scituate. IRATI
