My trip to Boston was an amazing one. There was so much fun that I had there. I found that there are several skyscrapers in Boston that light up the city at night, it becomes a real spectacle at night. I also found the people to be very friendly. After entering Boston I had lost my luggage and was on the verge of being mobbed but I was lucky enough to be helped by a few people lurking around and came out almost instantly after sensing that I was in some sort of danger. This happened at night, it was a quiet street and I was heading toward my hotel. From absolutely nowhere came three people, they asked me for my belongings. One of them spotted a watch on my wrist, it was a Rolex watch that my father had gifted me on my 20th birthday.
It was perhaps the most expensive thing on my body. With great difficulty I parted ways with it, if I had not they probably would have killed me. In retrospect, I think the decision was right because they had guns and were heavily armed. If I had resisted, they would have killed me then and there. My father was sorrowful upon hearing this story, he was inconsolable. Then came the rescuers and shunned the mob away and I just could not thank them enough for their timely help. The next morning I was just thanking my stars because I had gotten away unscathed. I was scheduled to go to an amusement park that morning but I hardly felt like moving out of my bed.
I was sulking because the watch had gone, its price did not matter to me at all but the fact that it was a dear gift from my father mattered the most to me. I managed to get out my bed and found some motivation. The rest of the day was fine as I shook off the past and looked forward to a brighter day.
The amusement park trip was a memorable one but the trip to Boston ended on another sad note. I lost my wallet at the airport. As though it was already not bad enough. I have no qualms, I am always positive about the future.
