The day plans were to have breakfast at Midges and then off to Boston and then to Fenway park for the game at 7 pm.  We had a wonderful breakfast at Midges house, then off to tour Boston for the day.  The city was packed with tourist but we made our way around Boston commons and Beacon Hill.

Of course we had to stop into Cheers for a quick visit.  It was Great, we walked in and everybody knew our names.

Then to lunch at the Green Dragon Tavern where Ben and I had our first Lobster Rolls.  They were really good.  We then went around to several other sites and decided to take a scenic tour bus around to view the major sites of the city.  It was a Great tour and we finished up just in time to catch the train to Fenway park.  We got to Fenway park and the line to get in was HUGE.  They were really checking people carefully because of the heightened alert.  So we still had an hour to kill so we decided to go and find a place for some refreshments and wait for the lines to go down.  WELL we scored big time, it was like the Baseball gods were shining down on us.  We stumbled upon a hole in the wall bar which was not crowded at all.  We got a nice booth right in the middle of the room.

They were playing some great old rock and roll and the best thing was that when we got done the entrance to Fenway park was right out the back of this bar – NO LINE – Unbelieveable.  You will notice that I didnt mention the name of the bar.  Thats because Midge asked me not to.  We dont want the word to get around about this hole in the wall bar and then the next time we go it will be pack also.

Anyway after a couple of rounds and Midge taking a trivia quiz on a local news channel we finally walked right into the stadium.  It was a GREAT game til the 10th inning when the Astros scored 4 runs in the top of the inning and people started to file out.  The evening ended with Fireworks over fenway park and home.  We finally got home around 1:30 AM Big Day.  Tomorrow we say THANK YOU and  goodbye to Midge and its off to New York City.
