Alicia & Rich's Roads to Everywhere London to Australia on the route less traveled

Amigos and Baseball

USA | Monday, 1 June 2009 | Views [248]

It's June and our time in Texas is running out. It's our last week and I still have friends I'd like to visit. Mia wakes me up around 11am and after trying to get her to stop running around on the bed, I give up and jump in the shower.

At 1pm, we go to meet Vi and my old college mate Adriana, for lunch. It's great to catch up and meet Adriana's adorable baby boy. We introduce him to Tessa and I think there may have been a spark. After a great lunch, we head to the Chocolate Bar, where everything is decadent chocolate. I fall in love. Yum!

Tonight we head to an Astros game. Frances has been kind enough to give us tickets and Rich is super excited because he has never been to a live baseball game. The seats are great and we have a good time eating pretzels and drinking beer. To top it off, the Astros won!

Despite how boring baseball is to watch on TV, it's actually a fun night out...even when you're watching the Astros against the Rockies - not exactly the World Series! We get to see a couple of homers and I make sure I use the phrases "bottom of the ninth" and "the bases are loaded". I'm such a local. -Rich
