Today we went to Boston again, but this time our exchange students came along. We walked through the city and got to listen to the interesting presentations that our host sisters and brothers had prepared. It was nice to be in a big group of people and because of that, we could connect with people we hadn't got to interact with before. 

  

After that we went to the State House, where we got to see the chamber of the House of Representatives. It is this tall, beautiful room you can see on the picture. We were told many great stories about the building and the American history by our guide, so we got to learn a lot of new facts. 

The State House has a special bright hall, where we could see the flags of almost all 351 cities of Massachusetts. With a small hint of our guide, we could even find the flag of Reading. We were all amazed by the beautiful colors, I think we could’ve stayed there forever and look at all the different flags. 

  

After some walking, we deserved a break. The American teachers had booked a Duck Tour for all of us. It was similar to a bus, but it could transform into a boat. We got a ride with one of the funniest tour guides ever, probably. He told us many funny stories, but also made sure we could learn something from this unique tour. A bunch of us were allowed to sit on the driver’s seat and take pictures like real captains. It was definitely an unforgettable experience.
