    "They can visit and walk around this places because is very beautiful, ande near the city, I recommend Parks, beach, downtown landscape, train station and buses, library and airport. Also ride a bicycle through the different parks because these are safe since they have their own roads, and in these there are many things to see such as birds, the city on the other side of the canal or the beach and and also boats, in addition to being able go on the ferry to the other side to the city of Boston because it is not very expensive so it is fun and entertaining"

    "no parking big problem with the snow. noisy, Logan Airport is 5 minutes oway good for traveling not for leaving here because of the traffic. also east Boston only has 7 ways in and out. 2 tunnels that some times close for maintenance, 2 bridges that go up all the time for boats you have to wait 15 to 30 minutes for the bridges to go down, travel out or in by plane, or ferry, or 145 or 1A.
