Wow!!! What haven't we done in Boston!!! Two days hopping on and off the trolleys... seeing all that there is to see... most amazingly... we got to see the Red Sox win at Fenway Park!!! Jay was so excited... I didn't know how much she knew about baseball - and she didn't know I knew nothing at all!!! The vibe was amazing!!! Hopefully the photos tell a story... at 18h30... the stands were still relatively empty as the heavens had opened... but when those words 'Play Ball' resounded across the stadium... it suddenly filled up... with thousands of people... we tried to get some pictures of the action... however... they didn't take time out to pose for us!!!
Anyway today we started with a trip to the Skywalk... a 360 degrees view around Boston... 50 floors up... how amazing...
...we then had an amazing lunch at 'No Name' Restaurant...
One of Jay's wishes for this trip is to get to speak to Americans and 'simply be'... our waiter was fondly called The Professor, a Greek immigrant to Boston, who has various degrees and teaches teenagers who have been excluded from schools... this was a fantastic start to our trip...
(Hey folks... we're still figuring this blog thing out... and the photos have been uploaded in the opposite order than intended... Mike H... THESE are the Red Sox pictures from last night... a bit more interesting than simply looking out the bleechers bar!!!)
Cool photos, i bet you both are knackered, you have done so much already you go girls, have fun. Plus you will enjoy American Football to, not just for the cheerleaders either lol.... love to you both H&L XXX

Wow! I cannot believe how much you've already done....no I take that back....I would expect nothing less of you ladies. Looks like you are setting off with a bang. I look forward to your blog and I will show it to Susie tomorrow. We had a trip to the dentist today and she was a very brave girl. She very proudly marched back into school with her Nemo stickers plastered all over her uniform.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you saw the red Sox. Love Fenway Park- a reall tarditional ball park
