Second Day of Touring Boston!

Because we didn't stop at every stop on Saturday, Bruce had gone over the tour map and selected the stops for the day. Our first one would be Fenway Park, if the bus got there in time for the start. We rushed up the side street to the team store where the tour would start and arrived with about two minutes to spare.

Walkway over the street.

Oldest firehouse in Boston. Because the doors were so low, the engines had to be made 14 inches shorter than normal.

Fenway Park - cleaning up after the outdoor hockey game. It should be ready for the season opening.



Retired Red Sox player numbers with the exception of blue 42 - Jackie Robinson's number.

Weird building - leaks everywhere.

View of Prudential Center.

Post Office that Cliff (from Cheers) would have worked if he was an actual postman.

Last victim of the Boston Strangler was found in the apartment above the bakery.

Heading towards Paul Revere's house, I spotted this unusual building.
