Boston, Day Two: Whale Watching, Paul Revere's House, Old North Church

This is Kaylee and Kiara writing today!

Today, we went whale watching. The boat we were on was called Aurora. We saw 1 menke whale, 7 humpback whales and 6 white-sided Atlantic dolphins. They were acrobatic. Kaylee, Keilan, Dolly Ann, Jeremy, Chris, and Kiara all got seasick.

After whale watching we went to Paul Revere's house. It is more than 300 years old. It is very creaky; the stairs were creaky.  We went to Old North Church where Paul Revere lit two lanterns because the British were coming from the ocean. We went downstairs to the crypt where they stack dead people up to bury them. There were British soldiers from Bunker Hill buried there.

This is Boston from the water when we came back from whale watching.

This is Paul Revere's house.

This is a contract at the Old North Church. It was for fifteen year-old Paul Revere and seven friends to ring the bells at the church on Sundays. That's how Paul knew the church tower could be seen from across the river.

This is a window in the Old North Church.

These are humpback whales breaching the surface of the Atlantic Ocean.

This is the tail of a humpback whale.

This is Castle Island. We're going here tomorrow with our friends from Mather School.
