This morning we headed to Little Italy for their Saturday Market. It was teeming with people. I heard one little boy, say there are so many people. He wasn’t wrong. We had another “discussion” about parking, but managed to find something not too far away.
I enjoyed a wonderful strawberry cannoli but I still think Modern Pastry in Boston has the best I’ve ever tasted. I plan to take Tom there when we are in Boston next month. We also saw many people singing and playing instruments. I couldn’t resist taking a few seconds of video of this amazing 8 year old.
As far as the Padres Stadium, it is one of a kind. After entering the park, it feels like you are still in the downtown area. It’s all enclosed though and filled with places for children to play, a grassy area for people to watch the game on a big screen, and plenty of good food. The seats are positioned slightly off from the one next to it and facing toward the field. It’s a great stadium. But, I will say that the Phillies’ fans were not enjoyable to be around. They are worse than Cubs fans and it wasn’t even their ballpark. I thought there was going to be a fight. At one point, a Padres fan yelled this is Petco Park not Citizen’s Bank Park. Goodness!
It was Irish Heritage Night and we had special tickets to get the bucket hat. I think we make a handsome pair in these hats.
It’s been a good day. The weather is beautiful. We haven’t had to use the air conditioner since we arrived here and I am more than thrilled about that.
Our journey for today is winding down. I hope you’ve had a good day too!
