In late August, I started a two-week trip “back East.” Caught a BC game, enjoyed a week on the Cape with good friends, and finished with family and friends in the Boston area.
Two interesting views on the way to Boston. First, soon after departing San Diego, we flew just north of the Salton Sea. This was the first time I’d seen it from this perspective. Brilliantly blue, this view belied its troubled state.
Later, we flew over Chicago.
East of Chicago, we went over two distinctive and storied rivers, the Quabbin Reservoir, and took an unusual route into Boston. My usual flight is a red-eye, so this was a nice opportunity to see things I usually didn’t.
Our route to Boston included flying directly over Logan Airport, so we had this uncommon-to-me view of the city. The red rectangle in the right-hand portion of the photo marks the BC campus.
Visiting with BC classmates, we (at least the guy portion) attended the opening football game on Labor Day weekend against Rutgers.
Here is a brief video of the BC band as it marched through tailgate land to Alumni Stadium.
Tailgating near Gate A were these Golden Eagles.
Here is a brief video of the team entering the stadium.
Most of us had high hopes for the Eagles this season. Those hopes were slightly dampened by the 22-21 loss to Rutgers in this game and then steadily drowned in subsequent games.
But . . . as always . . . go Eagles!
