Leaving

Finally we should be leaving in the next few days, leaving the snow and ice of Newport for certainly much greener pastures of St. Maarten in the Caribbean. We will be having a few weeks there before going further south to St. Lucia and the Grenadines to bring in the new year.

Here are a few photo's of the last few weeks in Rhode Island and also a little trip we did to New York.

New York was it's usual self, except we went to the MOMA and also saw the Book of Mormon, which for those uncultured beings, is a Broadway Show, written and directed by the South Park guys. I also bumped into my mate Nath, which was a real treat, if only for a few hours. We did manage to go past the Soup Nazi's shop, have a beer in the bar from How I Met Your Mother (looks nothing like it to be honest), and have a horse and carriage ride through Central Park.

Anyway that's me signing out from the United States, yes you are a bit weird, but you have been a pleasure and hopefully will see you soon.

3 out of 4

The same Cape Cod trip day (see below) eventually landed us in TD Garden, Boston. Also known as the home of the Celtics and the Bruins. Once again we somehow managed to find our way into the corporate box.

This finally rounded out the Big 4 for me, that being Ice Hockey, Baseball, American Football and Basketball. One startling fact however is of the 4 games I went to, only one home team (the one I was supporting) won on the day.
The New York Rangers (always strong) lost the ice hockey to Tampa Bay on my first trip four years ago.
Boston Red Sox beat Atlanta this year (which is funny as it was the Sox worst season in a long time).
Patriots (the most dominant team of the last 10 years) lost to the Cardinals.
And on this night, the Celtics (made the Eastern Conference final last year) lost to the Bucks.

Luckily for the home team, I don't think I will be back for a little while!

This means DE-FENCE! ............... oh der.
