Boston

The contrast between old and new

An old train staion in the finacial district

The historic district

Hey,

from Halifax I took the bus south to Boston. It was a one day bus ride just to cross the border to the USA. To cross the border was easy. The problem was just another time the bad bus conection system. As I arrived in the USA it was 18.00 o'clock the next conecting bus left at the 6.00 o'clock in the morning!!! Because i had to spent the night in the town I searched for a place to sleep. Finaly I set up my tent in the back of an old house where was nobody living anymore. I spent the night there and continued my bus ride at the next day.

I arrived in Boston at the same day. Boston is a big american city. The people are very different compared with Canada. They speak in another way and are just different in their mind. There is a finacial district which gives the city the typical north american skyline.
But Boston is not just that! You can discover a lot of history too. Of course that's the city of the Boston Tea Party or The Boston massacre. So you can find an interesting historical district with small streets and old houses built with bricks. There are green trees beside the streets, old church's, restarants,... The park of the city is beautiful too. All that makes the city unique and a nice stop for me to spent a day.

Greetings from the States
