I am a little surprised that as you have been to football matches in England that the passion and atmosphere you felt at the Mets game surpassed the number one round ball sport. I've studied the scorecard and I really can't make head nor tail of it, baseball has never really rocked my socks but like you I would go and visit a game if I found myself in the old US of A.Martynhttp://www.thaisabai.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-73168055235506083792009-09-17T03:43:35.224+01:002009-09-17T03:43:35.224+01:00What a baseball experience you had, Emm!

Glad you had a good time at the game. <br /><br />You're right about admissions. Before I spent my semester abroad, paying to go into museums was normal. It blew my mind that practically all the museums I visited in Europe were free of charge. Now that I'm back home, I definitely miss that aspect of life over there.slynnardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601482486486012660noreply@blogger.com
