Just got home from my vacation in Boston, Massachusetts yesterday. I went there with my brother and my friend and his g/f. It was a good time. We went to the top of the Prudential Center, took a historical boat cruise, went to see the Red Sox play Tampa Bay at Fenway on Tuesday.
Paid $7.25 a beer at the park but it was a good game and we got to see a streaker run across the field. All of a sudden the home plate umpire stands up and points and this guy leaps over the wall over by the bullpen and jumps out on to the field. Instantly, three security guards are right on his heels. The whole stadium explodes with cheers as this guy runs towards the left field line (where i was sitting). At one point this security guard jumped to tackle the guy but just missed. The streaker was able to make it the whole length of the field before he flipped over the left field wall and all three security guards tackled him.
It was hilarious.
The first night we stayed in this small town on the ocean called Hull, Massachusetts, went out to eat at a place called Barefoot Bobs and then the next couple of nights we went to Braintree (a town just north of Boston). It's so weird how you can drive 5 hours from home and life is completely different. This whole town like shut down at 10pm. We went to get beer to drink in our hotel room at like 10:05 and all the houses in the town are dark as if everyone was in bed. We get to a Mobil Station and they don't have any beer. So we ask the guy at the booth and he's like, "Huh? Beer? It's after ten."
So he's like, "Man, there might be some place still open but it's like a 20 minute drive from here and I'm not even sure if they sell beer."
Luckily, we were able to find a place that was open til 11.
Then the next day we went out looking for sunscreen and there's no pharmacy or anything in the town. We stopped this one lady and asked her where we could find some and she looked at us like we'd asked to buy a tiger. She's like, "Sunscreen? Uh....."
But we lucked out again and were able to find some at a Mobil Station.
Overall, it was a fun time. Boston is a really nice city, but I'm glad to be home breathing clean air again.
