Connecticut


We spent the last week in Connecticut, mostly just hanging out at the relaxing country campground where we're staying. It's such a lovely setting; so green, lots of trees, two ponds on the property where Tom did a bit of fishing.


We did manage an exploratory drive through Rhode Island, driving up around Providence and then down to Newport before returning to Connecticut. I've got to say, other than Newport we were not enamored of the state. Just seemed to darned crowded to us. So many people for such a little state.



We also spent a day in Mystic, Connecticut which is a charming sea port town that we really enjoyed. And of course while we were there, we had to eat lunch at Mystic Pizza (of movie fame.) Very good pizza but I still haven't found anything to beat Geraldo's Pizza in Fairbanks. Funny that the best pizza I've ever eaten was in Alaska of all places.


Tomorrow we move on again. We'll be driving about 120 miles north to Salisbury, Massachusetts. The RV park we'll be staying at is only 1/2 mile from the ocean. We're keeping our fingers crossed that we'll get some good beach weather.
