I spent six days there, watching the Red Sox play five times through the end of the regular season. Yep, I watched them sew up the AL East title.

I visited the John Adams' birthplace; the original Cheers location; Sam Adams brewery; Fanuell Hall, Quincy Marketplace; Salem Witch Museum; Legal Seafoods; Trinity Church; and of course, Fenway Park. I ate twice at Boston Beer Works near the ballpark.

While at the Quincy Marketplace, I sat on a bench next to the bronze version of Red Auerbach, whom I got to meet in Los Angeles in 1983, where he signed his autobiography book for me.

The only thing I don't like about New England is when the Patriots beat the Chargers.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105
