173. Go to a Silent Film Theater

This is part of true modern day American history. It begs to be experienced as it once was 100 years ago. A large silver screen with live music played off stage. A full bodied experience somewhat akin to broadway musicals now.

The actual game, with the actual rules. We had a cricket bat (or whatever you call that thing) with the steaks....because every other country asides the US apparently plays it. But with just 3 or 4 people....we just kinda hit the ball around. The way you would in cricket.....but it still wasn't the actual game. I even asked my mission trip team mates if it could count as the real thing in order to take it off my bucket list.....they all agreed: it didn't count.
