Day 32 30/7 Old Town Trolley Tours of Boston and more Baseball

The weather today although warm was (34c) was less humid which we were all thankful for. We decided to take the bus into town for a change as it wasn’t as far to walk to the bus stop. It was a very comfortable ride in and once in the city we bought tickets for the “Old Town Trolley Tours”. This was a hop-on, hop-off bus and it took us all around the old and new parts of Boston with some good (but corny) commentary. We hopped off the bus and at the Harbour and did a lovely harbour cruise which was included in our ticket price. We learnt that so much of Boston has built on reclaimed land and even now there were construction sites everywhere. As part of our ticket deal, we were able to visit the Old State Museum free and we now feel pretty well up with the history of the place. After a little shopping in Macy’s in the late afternoon, Heather and Paul returned to our beautiful accommodation and Rob and I went off to see if we could get tickets for another Baseball game. We lined up for tickets at the official window and managed to get $60 tickets in the stand. We saw another great game between the Philly’s and the Redsox with at least 3 double plays. It was 1 all at the end of the 9^th innings so the game continued. We stayed until the end of the 11^th innings and then decided to make our way home. Rob continued to follow the game on his phone and while doing the final long walk from the station to our accommodation, the Redsox won in the 13^th innings.
