UPDATE: I had to hit the apple store up for a battery recharge for my phone and macbook. Here's the post that I wrote...3 hours ago.
Benson and I got into Boston around 10:30p last night, only to find ourselves calling hotels.com to get a bed for the night. We wound up at the Lord Wakefield, a rundown and rather drab establishment near 15 minutes north of Boston. I fell asleep writing a few good friends an email, only to wake up at 5a this morning ready to hit the bustle of downtown Boston. Benson, however, was enjoying the apparent comfort of his pillowtop. Close to 9a we headed out to begin our day.
Our drive here went about as well as a 16 hour drive could go. We left Leesburg, Indiana at 6a yesterday morning. It's hard to believe that it was only 29 hours ago. Our first stop for gas was just south of Cleveland. A few hours later we found ourselves discovering the rather plain town of Buffalo, New York, looking for The Anchor Bar and Grille - who claims to have the original buffalo wings. Benson and I ordered 20 mild wings, with 2 Dr. Pepper's and 1 Yuengling. The soda was shit, the wings mediocre and the beer delicious.
Tonight we will be watching Dice-K and the Boston Red Sox take on the Minnesota Twins at Fenway. This is the first of 7 games for our team of two, who will be touring New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburgh, and Detroit. I have shared a map of our adventures, if you are interested.
Sadly, I will not be meeting my friend Gary in Detroit at the end of our trip. He is racing sailboats from Port Huron to Mackinac Island until the 15th of July.
Battery and wireless signal are dying quickly. More later.
UPDATE: We're headed to FENWAY at 5:05 for redsox batting practice!
