We had plenty of time to tour Boston before the game today. We decided to do the Freedom Trail walking tour. When we got to the starting point in Boston Commons, we went into the Visitor's Center and found they did guided walking tours. For $12/person, you get a period costumed guide who leads you to the key sites and tells stories about the Revolutionary War period people. Very worthwhile. You get a much better sense of the history. But be prepared to do a lot of walking!!
We went to the game tonight with Robby Neufeld (my next door neighbor and best friend growing up in Bethpage) and his daughter Hannah. Fenway Park is a classic stadium. The seats are uncomfortable and there's not nearly enough leg room. The posts that hold up the upper deck block some of the view. The game was not very good (especially if you're a Red Sox fan). It was very hard for me to appear to be rooting for the Red Sox while silently rooting for the Angels. The Angels did a number on Josh Beckett. Lots of hits (16 for the game). The Red Sox defense didn't help (4 errors). The Angels won 9-2. Here's a link to the box score:

The hot dog I had was very good. Very flavorful, good peppers and very good mustard. However, NO SAUERKRAUT! It coulda been a contender for best dog, but NO!! "8.0"
Nancy didn't like the Italian Sausage she had. Too dry. "6.5"
She did, however, really like the Coors Light beer. Very cold!!
