Baseball

Being in America, you also need to do American stuff (ok, not all of them...). A famous one is to attend a Baseball game. So there we go - with the metro - to the Nationals Park, the stadium of the Washington Nationals, the local baseball team.
The atmosphere is festive, there are families, everything is well organized. The view from our seats is great. The stadium has the characteristic shape suited for the game. Actually, it is not too difficult to understand the basics of the game - it is much simpler than cricket. And more boring... But we are there to enjoy the ambiance and the food ... ok, I should probably rephrase that.
Uncharacteristically, the Washington Nationals manage to win the game! And quite convincingly, 3-0 against the San Francisco Giants. The runs, including one home run, were scored in the second and fourth innings. The Nationals pitcher was very good. The Giants players were put out in all sorts of fashion. It was also funny to experience a stolen base.
The match lasted around 3 hours and finished at night. A nice evening out.
