Red Sox Parade

Tuesday, October 30th 2007, Wake up time: 9:45am


I got myself ready and got my stuff together for the parade! I was so excited! I headed up to Alewife where I met up with Ben. I called Hannie to find out where he was, but he was still asleep! He said he'd try and meet up with us later. I was pretty hungry so I got myself a coffee muffin before Ben and I set off. 


We got on the train and headed down to Government Centre. This was where the tour bus with all the players, and more importantly, the trophy would pass through! We walked down into the centre and found a spot along the barrier. It was already close to lunch time and I was pretty hungry. We headed up to burger king, I got myself two cheeseburgers, a coke and a strawberry shake...I was getting myself energised so I could stand around for a long time! I ate my food while we waited for the parade to come by...


I thought I'd have some pictures...but I can't find them :/ However, we saw a lot of cool sights! A couple of buses with the players on waving at us while we cheered their marvellous success! We walked down with the float, it was so busy! Despite being a week day, no Boston fan was going to miss this! We eventually reached the centre of Boston where people were celebrating in their own way, busking or dancing or even just chilling out as it was such a lovely day! There were some great drummers that we watched for a while. We passed a bar where people were throwing down free necklaces with a baseball pendant! I grabbed one, hey it was free!


Ben and I hung around in Boston for the rest of the afternoon, just enjoying the sun and the happy mood around. We headed back to the station, where I got myself a caramel iced coffee. Hannie hadn't come after all, but I still had a great day with Ben! I got home and played Knights of the Old Republic before cleaning the kitchen. I decided to watch some of Scarface before my costume for Halloween, to get the voice just right! It was dinner time this was a lovely chicken pie with cucumber on the side.


After dinner, I headed off to Walgreen's to pick up some make up for my costume tomorrow. I got some good face paints that would allow me to do a nice scar. I headed back home and spent the rest of the evening watching some television. I watched an episode of House and it was followed by a very strange episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus! I was quite tired after all that celebration, so I cleaned the kitchen and headed off to bed!


Thanks for listening.
