Day 3 was an action packed day. We were delighted to have Ms. Brenda O’Connor and Mr. John J. O’Sullivan board members of ‘The Scituate Sister Committee of West Cork’ accompany us.
The day started off with a guided tour of Boston taking in the history of Whitey Bulger, the first Dunkin Donut Store and Chinatown to name but a few.
On arrival we were given an escorted and interactive tour of The Boston Tea Museum. We had a delicious lunch at Wahlburgers and we were honoured that the Consul General of Ireland in Boston in charge of New England Sighle FitzGerald organised a meeting with us before visiting Fenway Park.
We travelled by train back to Scituate and had a lovely pizza in Cosmos. We were sincerely grateful to members of the Select Board of Scituate Ms. Karen Canfield, Mr. Jamie Gilmore, Mr. Andrew Goodrich, Ms. Karen Connolly and Ms. Susan Harrison who formerly welcomed our students to Scituate. They really made us feel welcome by reminding us all that Scituate is our home and we are always welcome. They also said that people say the ocean is what separates us but there is only an ocean between us. We really are very closely connected and it is very evident that this is the case this week.
The evening ended on a high with a spectacular concert in Scituate High School. There is no doubt that they are very passionate about music and have a very talented music department.
