Success!

Althought only 70-80 people showed up, it is as expected.
It was my first time to walk from the beginnig to the end, withou missing any fun point.
So happy to learn the history , I think I learned some in high school too, but this time, it was about you want to know more about somehing you love, so it is kinda magical that I can just remember them after I read those articles.

Some impressive fun facts that I want to share with you:

1. the golden roof of the state house in park street, it is gilded and it is the sign of Boston, when you see 'XX miles' to Boston on highway, it means to this point.

2. Back bay was a bay with water

3. Old state house was almost sold to Chicago~~

4. Bunker hill was not real Bunker hill, it was Breed's hill, but because of some mistake of British general, it got name exchanged with the bunker hill, which is half miles away.

5. The golden steaming kettle on the top of the Starbucks near government center has nothing to do with Starbucks, it has been there since 183?

6. Boston common was a bury ground too

I hope, I can show my parents my dear Boston and Cambridge, some day, I mean it.
I miss you, Daddy, Mommy。。。。。。
