Two-Race Delay

            These people aren't lining up for a ferry. They were on Seaport Boulevard at the start and finish lines for simultaneous 5k and mini-marathon runs. The fences that kept them out of the runners' way also prevented us from crossing the street to our ferry. We had to use a pedestrian walkway above all the bustle to do that.

Our plan had been to take the Orange Line to State Street, then walk to the wharf area from there. But we got to the subway a few minutes late -- and the subways were "experiencing" 15-minute delays because of a breakdown. We wouldn't have enough time to walk -- looked like we weren't going to make it. So instead we took the Orange Line to Downtown Crossing, switched to the Red Line for South Station, then jumped on the Silver Line for the World Trade Center. We got to the ferry right on time -- and found that its departure had been delayed to accommodate passengers who were getting there late because of the race.
