After claiming free Starbucks pastries and coffee courtesy of the Marriott check-in clerk, we walked with Kieran and Helen over to Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, to soak up the atmosphere and have a quick beer before the baseball. The pre-game ceremony was, of course, very patriotic, and included music from the US Army field band and a fly past. The game itself was great fun, despite the Red Sox getting hammered early on by the Blue Jays. Baseball games can be pretty long, so after 3 hours in the sweltering 33 degree heat and diminishing prospects of a Red Sox victory, we decided to call it quits and heat back to the air-conditioned comfort of our hotel.
In the evening, there way a concert / fireworks show by the Charles river featuring the Boston Pops orchestra - a great way to cap off our few days in Boston.
