What a great day! Started the day by taking the water taxi out to tour the “Old Ironsides,” the U.S.S. Constitution and museum. Originally built for the Barbary Wars and then serving the in the War of 1812, it’s the oldest fully commissioned boat in the world. Had lunch at the 99 Restaurant & Bar, then headed towards Fenway. Accidentally took a wrong train, and had to walk a bit between stations, but that worked out ok as we stumbled on the very beautiful 1st Church of Christian Science church. Got to Fenway and had to stand in line for about 3 hours to get tickets, but it was totally worth it. A BoSox employee came wandering down the street and showed us his 2004 World Series ring which was really great. Check the photo gallery for a picture. We wound up with infield seats, 9 rows up from the box seats along the third base line. They were the old wooden seats installed in 1934 — the oldest seats in baseball! The Red Sox pulled out a win in an exciting 10 innings, beating the Ranger 8 to 7. Seeing a game at Fenway was awesome. The fans stick around until the fat lady sings, cheering, clapping, and singing the whole time. Really great baseball fans here in Boston. Got myself a Fenway Frank and a pretzel for dinner, washing it down with a beer. (Would you believe $5.50 for a puny 12oz beer? I think I got three swallows out of it.) Had a quick beer at the Cask ‘n’ Flagon on the way to the subway, then time for a good night’s sleep.
