I have had my first real ‘only in America’ moment. I was going though a mall, as it was the best way to get from one place to another. There right next to the food court (where they are destroying great foods from all over the world) I saw it, there was a chapel of St Frances. There we have it they have been able to mix the two places that Americans hold dear, the male and the church. Brilliant
I looked around old Boston it is an amazing rich and very cool part of town with cobbled streets and the whole bit. All of the houses are red brick and obviously the overall designs haven’t changed in well over a century. Add in actual gas lamps and it fells like going back in time, much better than actually going back in time would.
Yesterday I went to the Boston Museum of science (thanks for the tip Judi) this is one of those places which has some really clever ways of showing some really difficult scientific concept (Judi yip the Riemann function thing is cool, but I have to admit I though the Gaussian probability thing was better, but that might just be me). Then I went to a baseball game at Fenway park, it wasn’t much of a contest 8-0 by the end of the 4th inning. The atmosphere was good, with the game being a sell-out like they are all here (and they have over 80 home games a year) the crowd went home happy (well you would with the home team winning 10-0) and I can add another sport to the games I have seen at the highest level…..
Watched the whole game hoping to see you. Big Papi hit one in your general direction, but that wasn't you catching it (for shame). All the rest of the homers, and there were a few, went out over the Green Monster ... if you had been sitting there I would have seen you four or five times ;)
