Brrrrr! Boston!

We arrived in Boston, well and truly aclimatised to SoCal weather, in thongs, jeans and tshirts. No problems, our jackets and sneakers are cleaverly packed on top of our suitcase so we could change as soon as we picked it up from the airport. Just one problem.... luggage didn't arrive with us. It was delayed in New York. And we'd just flown the red eye from the West Coast, almost no sleep, and frrreeeeezing cold in Boston!

Fortunately we were able to check into our hotel straight away and this was the view from our window - look cold? It was!


First things first - Fenway Park to get some warmer clothes and check out the home of the Red Sox. But we saw this sign on the way... And this country wonders whats wrong! We sell guns, no ID required, no background checks, CRIMINALS & TERRORISTS WELCOME! WTF!

We took a 'tour' of Fenway park - unfortately there is a bunch of construction so the tour included a slide show - then a peek inside the grounds. And there is Murray in his warm snuggly Boston duggout jacket.

The next day we took a trolley bus tour out and about in Boston. (BTW - our luggage arrived later that night). It was great to see all the fall colours.

We also when to the bar where everyone knows your name... Cheers! I guess they got sick of the people taking home the beer mugs because now they just give them to you! (I wonder if ours made it home safely?)

And of course... the main event of our trip to Boston!
