Today started out with some slight sleeping in. Sleeping to the sound of waves became listening to the sound of rain at some point in the night, relaxing nevertheless. We had breakfast at the hotel again, and while it was still raining, loaded the car to leave. We left Kennebunkport at 10am and headed to Boston; we had a Red Sox game to catch at 1:35pm and planned for traffic.
 |
| On our way down we finally saw a Welcome to New Hampshire sign. I guess you have slightly redeemed yourself New Hampshire. |
 |
| We also saw a welcome sign for Massachusetts but due to the rain, was slightly late taking it. |
 |
| We got 8 miles outside of Boston when the traffic hit. After what felt like 30 minutes we made it to smooth sailing traffic. The last 6 miles or so turned out to be nothing but endless tunnels. How we found our way through those tunnels, I have no idea. |
 |
| But we did, making it to the hotel with just enough time to walk around the corner to Fenway Park! |
 |
| Bought a shirt so I could fit in with the crowd. Got 2 hot dogs, 1 french fry, 3 drinks, and peanuts, all for $31, and we were now ready for the first pitch. |
 |
| We had pretty good seats (minus the pole). |
 |
| And there was a huge crowd for a 1:35pm game on a Wednesday. |
This was the first time I’ve watched a Red Sox game and there is something to be said about their fans. Just the aura in that stadium was amazing.
 |
| The Red Sox ended up winning 5 to 3 against the Mariners. |
 |
| After the game, we finally checked into the hotel, which is pretty much amazing! |
 |
| We had a pretty good view too. Our luggage was brought up to our room and we freshened up. Then it was off to hail a taxi and go have dinner at Cheers. |
 |
| Cheers was pretty cool, really crowded. |
 |
| We sat in the portion of the bar that they redid to look like the Cheers set. |
 |
| Then it was “hail a taxi” back to the hotel and spend the rest of the night in. I have to say, taxi drivers in Boston are somewhat scary. I wouldn’t want to drive in Boston with this traffic and the crazy taxi drivers. But overall I really like the feel of Boston. If I wasn't so afraid to drive here, it would be nice to explore the older parts of the town. |
Tomorrow we are going to see a little bit of history, Plymouth Rock, and Wicked on Broadway in New York, assuming we can find our way out of Boston.
