Boston is simply amazing.
After leaving Finagle-a-bagel downtown, we took a walk over to Boston Harbor to recreate a picture Benson took during his winter tour of the city. Benson's phone had stopped working, so we headed to the Apple Store to talk to the Genius Bar, who ended up giving Benson a brand new iPhone. (No, not the 3g.)
From the apple store, we walked to Fenway Park. I really expected a party outside Fenway HOURS before the game, but at 4pm, not much was going on, so we headed to Fresh City, a local watering hole and natural eatery which had free WiFi. Chilled there for a bit, until 5, when we could get into Fenway to catch the Twins batting practice.
FENWAY WAS AMAZINGGGG! Best stadium I have been to hands down. And the fans were great! We talked to a few fellas around us who were excited to hear about our trip, talk about Johnny Damon being hurt, share stories about the city. Fenway fans are true baseball fans! Such a good time. We sang "Take Me Out to the Ball Game", "Sweet Caroline", and "I Love that Dirty Water" - which means, yes, the bosox won!
Dice-K pitched a hell of a shutout through 7 innings. We even got to see Papelbon come on and close her down! Let me tell you, when the Dropkick Murphy's come on, Fenway is a madhouse! It was such a good time to be in Fenway with true Boston fans. I've been dreaming of this day for YEARS.
Anyway, here's some videos of FENWAY. I'll upload more when I get back to Warsaw - I want to get as many stadiums online as possible. Here's the two best (check back next week for "Sweet Caroline"!)
Hope all is well, good friends. We're shipping out to NYC for the day - Mets tonight!
