The First Visitor from California

So I literally woke up to my first morning in Boston to realize that my friend Marilyn was coming for a visit...today.  In fact she was about to move into the BC dorms for a conference before staying with me for a night. 

We had a really good visit, including dinner in the North End, a ballpark tour of Fenway and Toy Story 3.  Here are some of our highlights.

 

 

Dinner at Warren Tavern.  This tavern is one of the oldest in Boston and where the plotters of the Tea Party and the Revolution would meet.

Fenway

O

One of the smallest and oldest ballparks in America and according to Peyton Kayser the best.

M

Marilyn is soooo excited to be here!

This is my third tour and I am a Giants fan, it's alright.

T

They were friendly but not a lot of connection, note the body language.

M

Meet the new man in my life!

B

Because the Sox were in San Francisco, the Giants won this day, they took us on the field.

T

Ta-da Marilyn is here!!!

It sounds like a good job to work the scoreboard but that is how you watch the game.

Looking up the Green Monster

M

Marilyn is in deep thought...not sure what she is looking at.

T

This is my serious history face... Sacco and Vanzetti were sentenced to death in twenties for being Marxists

B

Boston's North Beach...it occurs to me that the Italians liked the North.

Success!!!  Marilyn got herself a cannoli!  Erin will we be going here too?
