FENWAY PARK: RED SOX - BLUE JAYS 19 INNINGS

On the way to Fenway, again ! We took the T and got off at Kenmore Square, note the T stop at Kenmore.What a gorgeous, warm summer evening in Boston. Thinking of Roby and Zaidy at Fenway Park. So many layers of history and memory. We meandered through the crowds, fans and peanut vendors on Yawkey Way. Sorry I didn't get photos of that, next time. Maria Menounos, former co-host on E ! and Boston native, opened an organic food stand, Greek and Mediterranean food, hummus and veggies. Something new on the healthy side, change comes slowly. But it comes, this is proof. Something else besides Fenway franks and peanuts.

Entering Fenway is just a magical experience after navigating the basement levels containing more food vendors, you walk through a narrow tunnel, up a ramp and Fenway appears like the Emerald City of Oz - that green only exists at Fenway and Ireland.
6:59 PM
Players stretching on the field. Once again, we had really great seats. I never sat so close. You don't see this on TV. The ballpark experience is very different. It's one of the only places I will go where there are crowds of thousands of people. I feel safe at Fenway. Everyone is in a good mood - you get to yell and boo, all ages are there. I saw a little boy, less than 2, held in his father's arms. It is so loud at the ballpark but that little boy was not crying. He just looked all around in wonder. There's a lot to see. :)
