We're at Day 15 of our excellent adventure or if you're keeping track-Day 16 of being away from home. It's now October 5. We backtracked a bit to get to a highway that would take us east from Cooperstown through New York and into the Southwest corner of Massachusetts. We passed through a bit of the Catskills and ended up at Great Barrington, Massachusetts. The Comfort Inn had just been renovated and was a great property in which to stay. The staff was wonderful too. They really bent over backwards to be accomodating. We ate at a Mexican place-okay, but I like the less healthy version of Mexican food that we get out here and not paying for the chips and salsa. Nighty, night.
The next morning we found another covered bridge in Massachusetts before we even crossed the border into Connecticut. (I've always had issues spelling the word Connecticut-now I think I'll always get it right. We'll see...) We also ran into some folks at one covered bridge and told them about the others that were coming up. They were from Michigan. We ran into them at Kent Falls State Park too. Great minds think alike... Our last bridge of the day was Bull's Bridge. Then we concentrated on getting over to see the Elises'. Yes, there's two of them.
Elise No. 1 we met for lunch at Stamford, Connecticut. She's been someone I'd only talked to on the phone. She helps us with our investments and is based in Greenwich, Connecticut. (See if I keep typing Connecticut enough times, it's going to be automatic to get it right!). It was nice to put a face to a voice. After our enjoyable lunch we headed to:
Elise No. 2 who is now a very grown-up lady from when I first knew her 20 (gulp) years ago as her Young Women leader for church. She lives with her husband and two children south of Norwich, CT. Her children a boy age 7 and a girl age 3 1/2 are delightful. It was nice to reconnect with her and her husband, have a home cooked meal and play with the children.
Sweet dreams
