John Hancock & Penguins

---

Hello!

Today was a great day! We started off with a walk down the Freedom Trail, which takes you to various old historical sites throughout old Boston. We saw a place where the Declaration of Independence was read publicly in July of 1776, Boston Commons, the graves of John Hancock as well as Ben Franklin's parents, and Faneuil Hall, an old marketplace and meeting hall. It's amazing to actually SEE all of these places. Next we went to the New England Aquarium, which is oh so cool! They've got penguins, sharks, tropical fish, seals, and a whole host of previously unknown animals. The penguins were particularly engaging with their diving antics and eating habits.

Overall, this has been a great trip so far. Your students have been fabulous! We really appreciate their trustworthiness and good attitudes.

Thanks!
