National Park

1) I learned from my reading that a lot of Massachusetts has Polish heritage. Other peoples readings taught me more about life back then and the way things used to be. I learned from our guide just how much things have changed since back then to what they are like now and it was very interesting. From the places we visited, I learned just how old and authentic this town is and I can't wait to learn more about it.

5) a. What stuck me the most was how different life must have been back then, this tour really put that into perspective. The ocean smelt salty and like sulfur. 400 years ago I bet the site looked a lot younger and more thriving. I liked all the stories she told about the people that used to live there. The most striking was how they used their yards as a trash pile/place.
b. I think the trip served my sense of place positively. I found it all intriguing and the history was an amazing story to hear, it really gives a new viewpoint on the town and how rich of time it really has been here. Also reminds us that we are the future of here, yes the past is important and great but my sense of place is now and in the future, make the most of it so maybe one day our story will be told.
6) I have no questions!
