Visit to the Birthplace of The Lightning Thief
Hi, I'm Vivian, and I'm 8 years old. Today, I want to share with you about my recent adventure to Boston, USA. You know what's cool? Boston is the birthplace of one of my favorite authors, Rick Riordan! How awesome is that?
I visited his birthplace in San Antonio, Texas. It was so exciting to see where he grew up and got inspired to write all those amazing books about gods and heroes.
While in Boston, I also got to visit the famous Freedom Trail, where I learned all about the history of the American Revolution. It was like stepping back in time!
