As soon as we landed in Boston, all we could think of was food! So we rushed out the hotel doors and went to a small seafood restaurant. At the restaurant I tried lobster for the first time and I loved it! It was the best thing I'd ever tasted! The next day we went to Fenway Park, where we took a tour. First we saw the bar that used to be a bowling alley, and then we sat on top of the green monster. The green monster is the enormous wall put out in left field. A...

On July seventh we arrived in Dublin, Ireland (again). For the first three days there we just rested and did things like seeing the movie "The Incredible Hulk", shopping and going to teatime. One day we even went and took a look at the hotel owned by Bono (the U2 singer). The reason we were resting so much was because we knew that soon we were going on a one-week bike and hike tour. After the three days, we got a car and drove to Waterford where we ha...

Then we went...

I could see out side the train and it would have been pitch black under the tun...

Normandy is a quiet region in France with a sad and unforgettable history. First I will start with a small history of WWII and Normandy then I will explain our experience. On June 6, 1944 the battle of D-day occurred. 156,000 troops stormed onto the beaches of Normandy but very few were able to walk off of the beaches and tell their families of the experience at the end of the campaign. The Allied troops who fought on D-day were mainly teenagers and young peopl...
