We spent our morning on a tour of the JFK Library museum. In the museum, we saw many exhibits featuring video clips of several of Kennedy's speeches and interviews. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about all of the history preserved in the museum, and this made for a very rich and thorough tour. After the tour, we ate a picnic lunch outside the library, then headed into the city of Boston for the rest of the day.
After the JFK Library, we began our walk down the Freedom Trail. Everyone was engaged and interested for pretty much the whole time. Starting at the Boston Commons, the oldest public park in America, our fabulous tour guide asked us questions and interacted with us, making the tour a conversation rather than a lecture. We hiked through the streets of Boston, laughing and learning at the same time; all in all the day was great.
After the freedom trail we went to Quincy Market for dinner (and shopping). Here we had the opportunity to be independent. We got to go through Quincy Market by ourselves, well, with a partner, but we had the responsibility to take care of our money, keep track of where we were, and be with our partner. Overall, we had a great time trying all different kinds of food and shopping.
