Boston, UK

I got to see Boston, UK. Boston, U.S. was named after Boston, UK. We traveled to Boston by train. We were planning to go to two things. As we came into the train station we saw our first stop. Our first stop was the St. Botolph’s Church. It is one of the biggest and oldest churches in England. They started building this church in 1309. We went inside and saw many pretty designs on the wall and ceiling. Afterward we headed to destination number two. On our way there we passed through a market. People were selling all kinds of things. We also heard some kind of auction in the distance. Destination number two was the Maud Foster Mill. The Maud Foster Mill is a windmill. As we walked into the first floor we saw lots of bags of wheat. They still use the mill to grind wheat into flour. As we started to climb up to the next floor we walked up a very narrow and steep staircase. On the second floor we passed a few guys squashing raisins by hand into a barrel. They use the raisins to make granola. When they found out we were from America, they told us California raisins are the best! As we walked to the third floor we passed by the gears grinding the wheat into flour. The main gear that was powered by the wind turned around on the ceiling. It powered to smaller gears that grinded wheat. That is what is happening in the video we took. As we walked up the steps we passed floors full of more bags of wheat waiting to be grinded. Finally we reached the top. It was a nice view but my favorite part was to look out the window and watch the sails spin around and around. We found out it grinded more wheat than any other windmill in England. It is also one of the oldest still functioning windmills in England. Boston was definitely worth seeing.
