Sunday, September 27: Nor’easter Starbucks & Amtrak

Hello boys and girls it’s another rainy day on the East Coast. Maryann and I are in Boston. We woke up around 10:30 AM checked out of the hotel. They didn’t charge us anything for leaving after 11 o’clock, which was cool. We then got ourselves ready to get going. Mary unfortunate Lost her Hot Yoga Philadelphia ha. We then got an Uber to the Starbucks. The Uber driver was very nice. We got there around 12:30 and it’s now 3:30 PM. We looked at a lot of threads material just laughing and stuff and having a good time drinking multiple iced coffees. A nice Asian couple sat next to us. They were very nice. They allowed Mary to see if her charger is charged up and it just needed a joke to get working. The Phillies are actually leading the raise 4–0 in the third inning. They scored more than one run for the first time in a week. So we’ll see if they hold that lead with that relief pitching. We’re supposed to catch 8 PM Amtrak train. Hopefully it won’t get delayed too much due to the torrential rainfall. So far, I have not gotten any alerts yet. 

Saturday, September 26: No Red Sox! Nor’easter instead🙄

Greetings from Boston, Massachusetts. After we found out last night that the Red Sox game scheduled for today was postponed and sent to Tampa Bay Florida to be played in a dome stadium. We had to do other plants for today. We first slept in for a while and then had some of our drinks we got up. We then walked to a Starbucks, which ended up being like a tiny little Starbucks with no seating. Then realized it was too gross to go there by walking an additional 18 minutes. Within decided to call left and get lifted to the real Starbucks with actual seating. This was located 1304 Commonwealth Avenue. We went there and the people at the front were really friendly and had fun with us. They gave us our name as go, Red Sox! Which I thought was hilarious. One of the sandwiches had a little bit of blonde hair in it and I whispered to one of the ladies and I got a second sandwich for free, which was obviously the good choice to do. So instead of making a scene and going on social media and decided to do it that way. We then hung out for a while and I caught up with my blog posting and Mary called her brother and caught up with him because he lived in Boston for a while in a while now we’re going to the Isabel Stewart Gardner Museum because we heard from several locals. It was a cool place with lots of trees and stuff inside the building. It’s now 3:26 PM and the northeaster is here. We had some really bad moments but right now it’s just drizzling all day in between the wind, gust and heavy rains.  Well, we went to the Isabel Stewart Gardner Museum and it was really fascinating stuff for sure. She had quite the collection Spanish art. She died in the late 1800s and husband is really rich and she set this place up in a really cool way. There is a a garden in the middle of bunch of trees, etc. it was three stories high. Signs were outside, saying tickets were sold out today. Mary told the woman she’s a docent at the Rosenbach Museum and she it with a whole was on this list. Well, we got in and they didn’t charge us any money. I didn’t realize it till after we had left the museum. That saved us 50 bucks which was pretty unreal. Well, the museum closed at 5 PM and we had to leave. It was a pretty cool place. We got a ride via Uber. A very nice woman who took us back to our place. We hung out for a little while and figured out what we would do with dinner we decided to order food from an Indian place right nearby called Punjab. It was right on one of the main streets that surround our place here. I first got some drinks from two of the nearby in the other direction then went back and got picked up the food. It wasn’t cheap, but it was very good. We fortunately got decent size plates from the hotel. We’re staying at cause the guy at the Punjab restaurant gave me these two tiny little plates and it would’ve been kind of silly to be eating out of those so we ate and we’re reading inside to get to the Phillies Tampa Bay rays game. It was a chance for Phillies are right their ship and win one but as of 9:25 PM at seven to nothing at the top of the fifth inning and they managed to end the fifth inning and yikes it’s really depressing and they’re showing all the Phillies fans just moping and a couple of guys put a bag over their heads that’s where people are starting to do this how bad it’s gotten. Oh my God, social media is gonna rip them like a new one. It’s just so sad. it’s one thing giving up seven runs, but we can’t score any so it could be three nothing as it was in the first inning with Erin Nola pitching one inning. 

Friday, September 25: Amtrak to Boston.

I got up along with Mary and got ready to head out to Boston on our 6:58 AM train to Boston. I didn’t sleep well that great but I had attacked most of it last night which was good. we got the Uber and got to the 30th St. station and plenty of time. We grabbed a bite to eat at the famous Dunkin’ Donuts place at the corner. Grabbed a sandwich breakfast sandwich it is and got going. We got on the train nice and Early found a spot withtwo seats together and got going turned out that our side of the train. The charging port didn’t work and we asked them about three times and finally during the trip we were able to get our phones charged just before we got to Boston. It was a smooth ride. There were no untoward delays or anything like that. We got the Boston and we saw this outdoor festival of food and other things. We saw this tent with Indian food and we decided to purchase some before you go to  the hotel. It was a little expensive for the amount of food, but we figured we better have some food because we hadn’t eaten since. Anyhow, there are some cool buildings in this area Boston. We took a picture of we then took it “T“ the green line. Commonwealth Avenue We got off at Harvard Avenue and walked to the Farrington Inn. This is a location of Boston called well I don’t know if it’s called but it’s like little Korea. There’s Korean restaurants everywhere. This hotel is basically a rooming house back from the 70s. It was really a trip we signed in we paid $40 extra for two nights of a private bath, which was a good move. Then we chow down on our Indian food is very tasty. We were thinking of going back out, but we are really tired and decided we’d lie down we end up crashing for a couple of hours, which felt really good. We got up walking around this one street which I forgot the name of which had all look in Korean stores and we went to a couple of stores grab some fruit iced tea, etc. for the trip back we came back and tried to TV and that didn’t the one of the managers at a place try to fix it and he eventually did fix it. It was pretty hilarious then we just got work well so we had real tired and crashed. Oh yes, we found out that the Red Sox game was being moved to Tampa to be played on Sunday, September 27. We’re not flying to Tampa obviously!! The email also told us that we’ve got our money back in seven days which is really two weeks in real time, but I have to keep an eye on my credit card and see if they put the money back in. Tomorrow is the weather supposed to get a little worse, we’re gonna sleep in and go to Starbucks.
