Personal Narrative

Our weekend in Boston was like stepping into history. From the iconic Freedom Trail to the deck of the USS Constitution, each landmark told the story of America’s journey to independence. The city’s layout felt distinctly European, adding a layer of charm and complexity to every turn.

Boston’s food scene was another highlight. We enjoyed clam chowder in a pub near Fenway and sampled seafood that embodied New England’s coastal heritage. Exploring Cambridge, we visited Harvard and MIT, experiencing the intellectual aura that defines this academic hub.

Boston’s unique blend of history and modernity made it a truly memorable experience. We recommend starting with the Freedom Trail, getting lost in its historic alleys, and embracing the city’s vibrant culinary culture.
