Day 139 - Directions

My cousin generously woke up at 3 in the morning to drive me to the pickup location, a hotel in Windsor, to catch the shuttle to Detroit airport. We had some problems getting to the airport as the driver got lost, but luckily someone else in the van knew how to get to the airport and eventually we got back on track. I still made it to the airport with some time to spare since I made sure to allow lots of time when booking my shuttle time given we had to go across the border and through customs.

I actually had to fly to Chicago and then on to Boston. Once I arrived in BOS, I made my way to North Station and then out to Wakefield as I am staying at the same hotel. I managed to get there mid afternoon so I wasn’t rushed to head back into the city but at the same time I am restricted as to the train times.

The only problem tonight was it was raining and they never got the tarp off the field. I’m glad my seats were in the upper half of the lower deck so I could sit in them under the roof while waiting out the rain delay. Once the game was officially called I decided to walk back to North Station (I knew the general direction to head) and find somewhere to stop and eat along the way. I got a little off course once or twice but by using subway stops as my guide I was able to find my way to North Station.

Even the rain couldn't keep Halladay from getting some throwing in.
