Day One: The Lake, Locals, and Baseball Landmarks


11:00 AM: The Wendella Architectural Tour

A and I wake up early to the most beautiful view of the city. The apartment we’re staying in faces the water and runs right along the canal. Invigorated and slap happy, we set out to go find the most raved about (by people I know) architectural tour in the city.

The Wendella Architectural Tour is only $25 and completely, entirely worth it. I highly recommend doing it early on in your trip as and you’re able to get a good feel of the city's layout from it. Additionally, they offer a really concise and interesting history of the city. There is also, a bar on board. And it goes without saying I think that it’s seriously beautiful out on the water on a nice day.

The only warning I can offer is that it was really hot and sunny out the morning we went and A got swamp ass so bad it went through her sundress. She was thus prohibited from standing up and going to the edge to take better pictures. Also we had to wait for everyone else to exit the boat before she would stand up and then I had to walk behind her until we reached an air conditioned restaurant where she could air out her ass. So, if you're prone to butt sweat, wear something sturdy.
