I know that only one of us is a true Red Sox fan, Emmet, but it would be hard not to appreciate the majesty of Fenway Park. We started at the enormous Red Sox souvenir shop where Bridget, Clare and Eileen debated whether to buy foam fingers. Common sense prevailed. A few did add a shirt or hat to their collection. Drew has been sporting a Boston floppy hat for much of the week. Now Emmet and David E have joined his style.
The tour was cool. Our guide led us atop the Green Monsta (37 feet, 2 inches) for a great view of the field. We wandered around to several sections for equally amazing views. The guide reminded us that greats like Babe Ruth and Joe DiMaggio have played on this field. I thought it was funny she mentioned 2 Yankees as greats that played on that field! She also mentioned that some day someone might say Derek Jeter played here. I smell a secret NY Yankee fan!
We are back in the bus again. Heading to the Science Museum. This will be our last official stop on our tour as the Duck Tour we are scheduled for will leave from the parking lot here. It's hard to believe crammed so much into these days.
