Day Three of Moosehead Jack's Excellent Adventure, this time we take in a game in Fenway. Driving from Schenectady to Boston was actually a pretty nice ride. We have been really lucky, there had been almost no traffic, no hassle, nothing.........that would change
We got to Boston a little earlier and decided that we wanted to get some food. One guy we were with decided he wanted lobster, so we trusted in tomtom to take us to lobster. It did. In Salem.
Now, for those of you who have never had the pleasure of Boston, let me tell you, as the crow flies, Salem is only about fifteen minutes away from Boston. It took us about 45 minutes to get there. Now, I am not complaining too much, Salem was pretty cool. We found a cool place called Lobster Shanty, had the rudest service in the world - on purpose, but it was cool, and I have a great lunch there.
But I am just wondering one thing, what the hell happened to the stop signs in Massachusetts? There are no fucking stop signs. And even if there were, I am pretty sure they would be completely ignored. There are also no right or left turns in Boston, they are all merges, merge left or right. And people cannot drive, it was amazing.
So anyway, we get to Fenway, and I gotta say, it was really cool. We had nose bleed seats, well they weren't even seats, it was SRO, so we couldn't even sit down, but just being there was really cool. The fact that the Sox won was a bonus, and hearing the people sing "Sweet Caroline" was just kind of surreal.
So now I sit in Pawtucket, seems nice, but since it is almost 1am I really have no idea. I have some pictures I will post, but my batteries ran dead on the camera and I have to charge them first. Tomorrow is New York City, which should be really interesting. I thought the traffic in Boston was bad, and cause for a white knuckle ride, New York should be way worse.
