Boston/Fenway

Here are a few of my travel photos from Boston last week. I drove 1600 miles in 2 days with the worst cold of my life (I'm still recovering). I lost my original birth certificate, ran out of money, and saw my team lose 6-4. And yet I still managed to have a fun time. Photos enlarge if you click them.

This was my gracious and accomodating host Cody. It's nice to know there are other guys who compromise living space for cool environs. Cody's apt. rests in Harvard sq. in Cambridge.

That is the oldest bar in the U.S.: the Green Dragon Tavern.

That penile looking building in the background is one of the oldest in Boston.

This isn't your typical date on a tombstone in the U.S. In fact, many of the surrounding stones were written in middle English.

Sculpture of Socrates at the Museum of Fine Arts.

The highlight of my trip: Tigers @ Red Sox at Fenway. This is outside the park before the game; the stadium is to the right. If you're a baseball fan, there is no better place to be.

My favorite picture: this is from my seat about 45 minutes before the game. That is the most famous fence in all of sports, and two Tigers sailed a couple HR's over it. Man, dig that grass and blue sky!!!!

See Fisk?

The laziest left-fielder in the history of MLB.

A sincere thanks to all who helped make this trip possible.

Hey Bryant!

Just wanted to let you know that you made my day with this post! I lived in Boston from 2002-2005 and I miss it like crazy! I've been to Fenway Paahk a couple of times and couldn't think of a better place to be on a sunny Sunday!

Cheers from Salzburg!
