Justin flew in at 8pm on Friday night. It turned out my rugby match was at 8:30pm in Boston (Friday night matches are very unusual), so luckily one of my teammates picked him up at Logan while I was warming up and he made it to the game. We had a great match in a stadium under the lights, defeating Charles River. All of Beantown came out for the DivIII game and gave amazing and loud support throughout the game. It was so cool to play in a stadium!
Saturday we went to his family's house to watch the Bruins, and then headed back to Boston to watch Northeastern men's rugby take on Army, with former GW rugger Rizzo playing #9 for NEU.
That's the rugby half of the weekend. Then the drinking began. We visited Rock Bottom and Beantown pub with friends. Sunday we went to Sunset Grill & Tap and Deep Ellum, beer meccas that Justin has been waiting to go to for years. Sunset had amazing food, too; we split pumpkin ravioli and swordfish skewers. Monday we finally made it to Sam Adams R&D Brewery which is just a few blocks away from me. We enjoyed a tour, the tasting room, and a post-tour trip to Doyle's for free pint glasses. It was a great weekend, but Justin's visits always end too soon :(
