Bahstan Part 3- American Past time

So I've never been much of a baseball fan but one night we decided it might be fun to get some tickets to a Sox game in town. Being the naieve out of towner I am I proceeded with Jeff through the masses of people to Fenway stadium with 20 dollars in my pocket, only to find the cheapest tickets even afetr 2 innings were over 100 bucks. We convinced ourselves that 100 dollars would go much further outside of the stadium so we watched much of the game from Boston Brew Works across the street and then EZ gave us the grand tour of his old stomping ground at Harvard Med School. We concluded the night with a visit to the Squealing Pig Pub which had a dizzying array of brews to choose from.

Harpoon Brewery was to our dismay closed the day we tried to tour it, but we had plenty of their sweet nectar to get a real taste of Boston.
During peak traffic these taxis are the most efficient and always the coolest way to travel if you are too lazy to walk.
EZ returns to his old stomping grounds and gives us a grand tour and a little history of the facilities.
Jeff and I pose under the "Green Monster", which I later learned was an actual structure not a mythical creature that resided under the stadium here.
In conclusion Boston was a bit smaller than I imagined and had quite a bit of character. Their infrastructure was amazing efficient and moving about the city by foot was a breeze and would have been even easier by bike. I would never drive in Boston however. Hope to visit again in the future.
