The best of the classic ballparks. Dan had a business trip to
Boston and Gen flew along as we took a short vacation first. Fenway Park is
a very small ballpark, when you compare it to the modern ballparks. Fenway barely
has a second deck. It fits on one city block. It was a wonderful day and an
excellent park. We wandered around the park and up to the Green Monster. Dan
even reached out and touched it. The Red Sox won the game and beat the Orioles
on this day. The Fenway Franks are quite tasty, so be sure to get one when you
visit. Dan got to go to two other games during his stay in Boston, including
a Yankees game. The only bad part was that the Red Sox played pretty poorly
and were falling out of the AL East race. A lot of injuries have not helped
either. Dan can't wait to visit again. Luckily his company is based out of the
Boston area (Sonus Networks)

Panoramic view from behind home plate. This place is even better in person
than I had imagined it. |

condo here for Dan to live in all summer. |
