Boston Day 2 | Red Sox Game

Well, day two in Boston was pretty exciting as well. We were pretty tired from the jam packed day one so we decided to get a little later start. We went down to Fenway Park and went to the official team store. I could have spent a fortune in there, but luckily resisted and am debating on what to get when I head back on Saturday. After leaving the store and Jenni losing her brown cardigan, we caught the T over to Harvard Square and saw a bunch of the Harvard campus and the cool surrounding areas. I wanted to take a walk down to the Cambridge chapel that I went to a lot of meeting and help baptisms at. We walked down the street and to my extreme dismay I found the chapel in burnt shambles. I guess last Sunday there were some electrical problems and the building went up in flames. There were still fire crews and demolition teams there on the scene. Not exactly what I expected to see when I went back there.



We caught some lunch, did a little shopping and then went back to Fenway for the Red Sox game against the Blue Jays. It was a perfect night for a baseball game (Perfect 74 degrees) and the atmosphere of Fenway was pretty much just as I imagined it would be. The most exciting part of the game was the bottom of the 5th inning when the Sox hit four home runs and David Ortiz finally came out of his batting slump and hit his first HR of the season. I knew he was just holding out for me to get there to see it. My first sox game was a truly magical experience.





After the game we went back to the hotel and got our bags. We then got back on the train and headed back for south station to catch our early morning bus to NYC. The bus left at 2:00 am and we arrived here in NYC this morning at about 5:30. I found my friend Cy's place were we will be for the next couple of nights and now here I am updating. That is a pretty condensed version of the day, but alas, that is what you get.
