then we went back to my apartment and did some research on the internet, and the idea of going to Boston popped out: how about taking the 4:40 am train to Boston and returning to New Haven the very night.
4:40 am, yes, on Saturday morning, seven of us, who live off-campus, were on board the Amtrak train to Boston. we left in such a hurry that did not have time to buy tickets in advance. with the help of Greg, the warm-hearted conductor, we finally solve the problem of buying tickets online and had a comfortable ride. everything on the train was new to me: the way to insert tickets on the rack, the quiet car sign, etc.
three hours later, we arrived in Boston and started our trip with the prestigious Harvard. here are we:
Boston is an amazing city, with the modern elements and colonial heritage mingled together. we visited Harvard, MIT, Bunker hill and other historical sites, and took a twenty-minute nap on the common park lawn.
if you don't know where to go, never mind, just follow the red brick line.
it, however, was exhausted for all of us to travel in such a compact and intensified way. i haven't been a backpacker and traveled like this since college years. this experience is crazy as well as memorable.
An experience you will never forget, and never will you retell the story without laughing. Priceless!
ReplyDeleteAnd now I imagine you are nappping.
I can't agree with you anymore. and Bingo, yes, we do have the habit of take a little nap during the noon, so that we can be energetic for the rest of the day.
