Riding through Connecticut...
No insult to New Hampshire, because I haven't seen enough of it to judge, but for the moment I've mostly enjoyed riding on Vermont and Connecticut roads.
The last two days were absolutely fabulous, such beautiful weather, the sun was shining so hot I had to shed most of my clothes (huh huh), well, the pull overs mostly.
Lucky it's autumn and most bugs have gone to sleep for the winter 'cause I've been smiling so much lately whilst riding, I'd probably have black teeth by now if they were still around... (yeah, cheap food!)
Speaking of Autumn, it's absolutely gorgeous...somehow, even going as fast as we are (...) we've managed to catch up on the seasons, the trees still have leaves here and there's a certain smell of post summer cum beginning of autumn on the air, yipee!
Yesterday we went past a field full of migrating geese resting, very nice...
Connecticut is beautiful, rural, loads of green and rolling meadows. Those who know me intimately will imagine how happy I was at seeing loads of cows all over!
Massachusetts was also interesting, though we didn't get to see much of the countryside unfortunately.
A special thanx to the M. family in Springfield! Good laughs, wicked entertainment (love your dinosaur ;0) ) thankyou especially for the maps and time you spent pondering over our itinerary with us!!!
Et maintenant en francais: outre le fait que les conducteurs sont en general tres respectueux de nous, jusqu"ici les moments que j'ai le + apprecie paysagement parlant pour rouler c'est au Vermont et ici au Connecticut. Comme je ne savais pas a quoi m'attendre de tte maniere je ne peux etre qu'agreablement surprise...
Vermont, le nom est assez eloquent, quant a Connecticut, ouais...ben la je sais pas quoi dire.... Connecticut, des champs qui ressemblent au bocage normand, des vaches, plein d'arbres immenses et magnifiques parce que pas tailles, des outardes qu'on a rattrape, des feuilles sur les arbres, l'odeur de l'ete finissant comme en suspens, les petits murs de pierre... et demain l'ocean? Je suis completement surexcitee depuis 2 jours a l'idee de voir de la vraie mer!!!!!! Yeeeeeeeeeah!
On est a Mystic ce soir, mais il parait que c'est pas le mystic river de clint Eastwood. (par contre il parait que c'est bien le mystic pizza de ici qui a rendu Julia Roberts celebre) Comme avec Springfield ou on est reste une nuit qui n'etait pas le springfield des simpson. est-ce que tout n'est donc qu'un "schein" ici?
En tout cas le coin est joli. Demain Long island?
