The Badgers in New York
Hurray!!
We had a good trip to Hartford, and our Limo was waiting for us as we went looking for our luggage. Just like in the movies, he was standing there with a sign that said "Ferrey". The hotel in New haven was great, I was the highest, as I slept in the loft, there was another bedroom, for T&G, and a kitchen, living room and two bathrooms. The first night we ordered in pizza, all too tired to face going out. Sunday we had some breakfast, picked up the car, and spend half an hour trying to find Anne's, which should have been a 7 minute trip. Google maps are good, but there was a detour and so that made us go around in circles. But we eventually found Anne, and had a tour of her new place. After visiting a bit, we walked downtown and saw the St Patricks day parade. As Anne says the americans seem to think Ireland and Scotland are the same country, lots of scottish pipe bands.
After the parade we walked around, found a bookstore and shopped. Then after coffee, we found Anne's friends Helena and Rebecca. Rebecca had to leave but Helena joined us for the rest of day and for supper. We went out for a yummy Indian meal. On Monday we drove to Mystic a seaport town, does anyone remember Mystic pizza (the movie)? Then yesterday hopped on the train to come to New York. Anne was able to come with us, which is great and we are planning on going to the Met today. Yesterday we walked around Central Park, our hotel is only a block from there, and ate at a great Mexican food place that Anne pointed us to.
