Hello Mark Twain - Are you home
We had a fantastic day! We were up a little before 8 and ready to leave our “exciting” hostel experience. We were able to sample NYC at rush hour. With our backpacks strapped to our backs, we took the subway 35 blocks to Grand Central Station. There we caught a train to Connecticut. The train took us on a scenic ride through Harlem and all the way to Waterbury, CT. Once in Waterbury we picked-up our rental car and headed North to Litchfield Hills, “The American Small Town.” Where we saw green hills dotted with white steeples. There were at least 3 churches in every small town. Even in the towns that only had 7 visible houses. We ate at a fun local Grill and drove through the picturesque hills. We kept looking for Stars Hollow, but it alluded us.
The evening took us to Hartford, CT – Insurance Capital of the Nation. We saw the down town area, the capital building, the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center, and toured Mark Twain’s house – defiantly the favorite of Hartford. We found a great place to stay in New London. Wow, what a day! Tonight we are going to get a better night sleep – and wakeup to discover the Southeaster corner of Connecticut and Rhode Island.

Hi guys,
It looks and sounds like the two of you are having a fun adventure. Evan, Allison looks good in her red hat/beret, but I thought you told me you had a matching one. Where's yours? Kinda cool to see some of the sights you're enjoying here online while you two are actually out there having fun. Look forward to seeing more pics and hearing about the fun.
Larry
