I didn't take many shots, but my trusty Canon Digital Elph did manage to escape my pocket a couple times. Thought I'd share a few images with you...
Not a great game (especially compared to the last two walkoff wins), but as they say, a bad day at Fenway still beats a good day most anywhere else.
The cool thing about the Patriots' Day Sox game is it's an 11:05 a.m. start, which means when the game is over, it's just a quick couple of blocks over to Kenmore Square to catch the thousands of marathoners just as they're gasping toward the finish. Didn't quite make it out of Fenway to see the elite runners, but for me it's the 'regular folk' that most inspire...
Next it was a crowded T ride over to Faneuil Hall for post-game beverages and snacks with friends and the throngs of tourists that were doing the same. 
While on our wander over, we crossed paths with this band. Always cool to bump into a gang of patriots on Patriots' Day...
Among the stops at Faneuil Hall, Kingfish Hall, for a tasty round or two of cherrystones and little necks on the half-shell. Not quite my Boston favorite, the Union Oyster House, but a new close second. Definitely a nice upgrade from the Yawkee Way sausage grinder for lunch (not that the grinder wasn't its own form of fine dining)...
A couple more snack and beverage stops later, and it was off on the obligatory dessert run to Mike's Pastry in the North End. Amazing pastries in all shapes and forms, gelato and great coffee. This place is chaos every minute of every day, but well worth the wait...
We ended up hitching a ride back to the burbs with some other friends. Probably not normally a mentionable part of the day, except when the commute home includes a trip on the commuter boat from the New England aquarium to Quincy via Hull...
Logan airport, no ash cloud in our airspace...
Catch ya later Boston. Been wicked fun...
