Baseball. Really.

You may have noticed that there was never a mention of sports in my previous posts. That's definitely because I don't really like them. Seriously though, I went on a trip to go to Baseball games... Baseball games and Museums. Alex and I drove from the Tavistock Fall Fair to Boston where I was reunited with my friend Beth from Leicester. She showed us around town, put us up for three nights and got us into the museums! Of all the cities, it has an amazing historical side to it. It was beautiful weather for September and we wandered around, went on walking tours, and rented bikes. We toured the Sam Adams brewery (also for Alex) and I got to go to Bostons Museum of Fine Art and the Isabella Steward Gardener. And we went to Fenway Park. Of course we timed our whole trip so we could watch Boston beat the Toronto Blue Jays. Not that it wasn't exciting... In New York City we went to the Guggenheim (for a disappointing exhibition but still totally worth it) and the MoMA. We had one sunny day in central park and times square before the weather turned while we were at the Mets game. From then on we tried to stay inside at NBC studios. We had one day in Philadelphia where we explored the old city and walked across the new to get to the Museum of Art - the site of the Rocky steps - the only way to get Alex to run towards a museum. Our last night we watched the Philadelphia Phillies win their division - baseball here is much more exciting than in Toronto, with the stadium packed and all the noise, excitement, and fireworks.
