Yeah, so we went to Boston on Monday. It took us 5 hours to get there (Didn't seem like that long, I reckon I must have fallen asleep or someone is lying to me!). Anyway, we got there with the intention of heading to a Fenway Park tour, but after we had a very late lunch, we got to the park and it was closed cos there was a game on. Tom and I decided to try and get into the stadium to take some photos, while Sam, Lilla, Chris and Gabby headed off to go and have a look around Harvard.
Tom and I ended up finding some guy on the street and he sold us his 2 $27 face value tickets - 2 for $35 as thats all we could scrape up in cash. So we got these tickets, and were just hoping they weren't a fake! We had talked to some security earlier to try and get ourselves in but that failed, so once we had these tickets we headed back to the security and they let us in (they have some special fan thing where they let people in early). It was cool being let in early, cos we got to go right down the front and take photos. Tom even managed to sweet talk a player who was practicing to get him a ball when it was hit his way, so that was pretty awesome. I tried, but then the player had to go inside, lame-o,
Anyway the game started with much fanfare. Man, the amount of people that they introduce for no reason at the start of a game is ridiculous! And then we had to stand for the National Anthem etc, and have a moment silence for the people involved in that shooting in a temple somewhere in the states or something....
They say pictures say 1000 words, so heres some pictures, and a video even!
