Major League

2005-06-08 | Weblog
Today I went to see baseball, Phillies vs Arizona Diamond Bucks (I'm not sure). Because my friend's friend (Japanese) is working for Phillies, he gave us free tickets! I heard he is kind of famous in Japan because his interview was on the Nikkei newspaper and Kuriyama Hideki's HP. The seats were so close to the mound and great! There was no net except the one behind the homebase. So, it was pretty comfortable to watch. Some people brought their gloves to catch balls.
There were two games because the game of yesterday was cancelled because of rain. The first game started around 5pm and the second game was over midnight. Phillies won both games and they were pretty amusing because many batters hit home runs.

Canoeing

I went to canoe with friends. The place was in New Jersey, a hour-drive from Philadelphia by car. It was a wonderful day. We got up early in the morning and made sandwiches and left around 8am. We canoed about five hours including rest. Two people paddled one canoe, so we used two canoes. My canoe was OK but my friends' one tipped over 4 TIMES! It was hilarious.
The fee including the rent of canoe and drive to and from the river was $20 each. We had a great time. However, I got two big bug-bites on my face!
