Last Day in Boston

image894916992.jpgAh breakfast, the first meal of the day. As can be seen here Mrs Fogg demonstrates a staple start to the day courtesy of the Cheesecake Factory (shameless plug and not endorsed either), with a raspberry velvet monster and a glass of Champagne. If you think about the positive food groups here “grapes in the champagne”, “raspberry in the cheesecake” and of course vitamin C from the whipped cream, you go girl!

Then all set it was a mamouth hike around the city, to the actual outside screenshot o the Cheers bar, an Apple store to play with an iPad (me want one) and up to the Boston Science Museum. And this is where the fun ended. I’m sure the museum was good many years ago, but some of the exhibits have seen better days I’m afraid, we got bored and left $40 poorer, ouch.

Back then via some wonderful scenery and of course bars to watch the world go by, before heading out later tonight for a nice slaughtered and seared portion of bovine happiness (steak to you).

Tomorrow it’s time to check out from the Encore B&B (not bad but the little things do let it down a bit, especially with it’s price tag per night), pick up ye oldie jalopy and head up to Salem.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

image1845540555.jpgYup we have seen our first ever American Baseball game, the Boston RedSox at Fenway Park, how cool is that!

Have to say the Japanese baseball had more crowd enthusiasm all the way through, either that or we were drunk at the time.

Most of the Americans seemed to chat to each other rather than watch the game until home runs or instructed to get up and stretch by the announcer. Although every seemed very interested at the 8th innings when they suddenly played of all things Neil Diamond and Sweet Caroline, which pleased Mrs Foggy no end (since everyone sang, about 30,000 people and believe me one person singing Neil Diamond is bad enough).

A very good end to an excellent day.
