I forgot to mention the best part of the Fenway experience ... the ritual singing of "Sweet Caroline" before the bottom of the 8th inning. It is something to behold. The whole crowd gets up and sings at the top of their lungs. There's one part of the the song that's punctuated by 3 notes ( a 'bom, bom, bom', if you will). Go ahead, sing the song in your head ... you'll know what I mean. When this part comes up, the music goes quiet and the crowd sings 'bom, bom, bom'. It happens twice in the song. David Ortiz actually delayed getting into the batters box so the crowd could get to do the 2nd one. Very cool.
We're now in Mystic, Ct on our way to Long Island. Mystic is a very cute tourist town if you're ever up in this area. We ate at a seafood restaurant last night -- S&P Oyster Company (http://www.sp-oyster.com/). It was noisy. Lots of kids after a day at Mystic Seaport. However, the food and the view of the Mystic River were outstanding. Worth a trip, but bring ear plugs or sit on the patio.
On to Long Island via the New London to Orient Pt ferry. The Yankees on Saturday. Old Timers' Day.
