Why not swing by Boston for the World Series….

I had initially decided that driving an RV named Buttercup through any major city may be ill advised… I haven’t however always been known as one to heed the advise of others (even when that advice is my own) and instead choose to prove the naysayers wrong….  It isn’t often that one just happens to be driving through the city hosting game six of the World Series either. It would turn out that Boston would go on to win game six and clinch the World Series at home for the first time in nearly 100 years in this storied franchises’ history…. we had to give it a try.

Well I’m still driving and Buttercup is in one piece…. Although we did narrowly escape a low tunnel with about 4 feet to spare before the exit when I noticed the “10 foot low clearance” sign ahead.  We won’t be attempting this feat again soon.

Enjoy the pictures!

Gordy was excited and dressed for the game early.

So this is my rear view mirror. That is the back door with a small window I look through to see what is behind me.  What is difficult to make out is the police escort trailing me because I had propane on board.  Apparently this is a no-no when traveling through the tunnel that I needed to traverse on my way to the stadium.  Thankfully I was deemed non-threatening and the escort was sufficient.

It turns out that parking an RV is easy in Cambridge.  Also, by chance, this is the street that my cousin used to have her office on.  What are the odds?

He got her number.  How do you like them apples.

By the river.

Great evening for a game 6!

I decided to make the walk to Fenway. The view was pretty great and the Prudential Building was in full support of the home team.

The last time I was in town was the week of the Boston Marathon. The morning I left, the city was on lock-down, and in the middle of a manhunt for the bombing suspects.  The scene and atmosphere in the city couldn’t have been more different for my return.  The pictures should speak for themselves…  What a difference.

Before

After!

Just blending in.

The bike police had a parade!  It reminded me of the Shriners!

This is Melissa. She asked if I had an extra ticket to the game… I didn’t.  We waited around the park for a while, taking in the atmosphere and energy of the place before I rented a bike and we took off back to Cambridge to enjoy the rest of the game indoors at “Miracle of Science” on Mass Ave with some ginger-beers and other locals.

Before the last out of the game…  This local was ready for the victory… they got it and the Sox Won.  The place went pretty crazy and I have to say I was glad to be around and be a part of it all.
