We wrapped a day of church and sightseeing in Boston around TV coverage of the Wimbledon tennis final between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. We watched the first game in the hotel room, missed the next two and a part sets while going to church, watched the fourth set while eating lunch, and sweated out the result in absentia while visting the JFK Library and Museum. The girls were happy to learn that Rafa prevailed in five grueling sets. We prevailed in our six-day sightseeing blitz of the Boston area.
