Day 12 (September 27) (L.P.) JFK Library

 

Today, we met again at 6:50 AM at the Oak Grove Train Station and rode into Boston, as we did almost daily. Once in Boston, we had some time to purchase our lunch or grab breakfast. Sofia and I visited a quaint café after securing our lunches. We savored Shakshuka and French toast, both of which were exceptionally delicious and provided an excellent start to our day.
At 9 AM, we regrouped and took both the train and, for the first time, a bus. After a while, we reached the JFK Library, situated slightly outside the city center. The building is quite imposing and some even remarked on its futuristic appearance. We had 90 minutes to explore the exhibition. I gained substantial insights into JFK and the American political system, which proved to be very engaging. I particularly appreciated the photography and style from the 1950s and 1960s. I was also unaware that nearly every president donates a building of some kind to the public.


Following our Library visit, we had some free time in the afternoon. We strolled along the shoreline to a beach we discovered on Google Maps. We found numerous beautiful shells along the way. Upon reaching our destination, we enjoyed our lunches. I had a vegetarian bánh mì with teriyaki tofu, and it was so delicious that I dozed off. When I woke up, it was time to return to the city center to reunite with the rest of our class, allowing us to head home together. The route to the nearest train station was intriguing, as we had never ventured into that part of the city before.


It was a wonderfully serene day today, and I'm thrilled that I had the opportunity to visit the beach before our departure!
