What a day! Mehdi told me his friend Eric liked Liverpool, and that we were going to go watch the Liverpool game in a bar on Saturday morning. To be honest, I thought it was the usual American "Hey, I like soccer too!" stuff, but I couldn't have been more wrong. What Mehdi actually meant was, 'My friend Eric is the founder/president of the Boston LFC fanclub. He knows more about football than you and he's got a Liverpool tattoo.'

We turn up at the bar, and it's a sea of Red. :) The place is packed at 9:30 on a Saturday morning with Americans watching the match, and cheering like they were born in Anfield. It was such a nice surprise, and Eric even bought me a Boston LFC t-shirt for which I'm eternally grateful.

My friend Kevin also drove from his home 45 mins outside Boston to catch up with me, albeit briefly. I met Kev scuba-diving on the Great Barrier Reef a couple of years ago, and it was good to see him again too.
