    Sights

    22 июня 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 23 °C

    1) turns out you can rent a sauna... delivered to you. Not sure why you would want to.
    2) Lots of abandoned factory buildings, and lots of barbed wire in parts of Bridgeport.
    3) captions in the wrong order... sorry!Читать далее

    Southport to Milford

    22 июня 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 22 °C

    Fantastic first day. Hot but bearable, and only one incident... Nate walked straight into a pole while admiring one of those big blowy guy things that they use to advertise at used car shops. GoKarts rock, food was tasty, and we're happily settled into our hotel.

    Stated at Hyatt Place, Milford.

    Back on Rt 1

    23 июня 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    This part of Rt 1 is a bit of a wasteland. All big box stores and fast.food. Sun is being tamed by some hazy clouds, though, and there's sidewalk. We listened to the NYT podcast "The Daily" to start the walk.Читать далее

    No sidewalk

    Most of the route has had nice sidewalks so far. This stretch, not so much.

    Winding up day 2

    23 июня 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    When we walked from Stamford to Southport, we saw dozens of establishments advertising eyelash extensions. Today, the theme was tattoo parlors. Also, we've ascertained that white men in Connecticut like to ride motorcycles, and are not partial to helmets.

    We're staying at Motel 6 Branford. Room is clean and comfortable, but the hallways smell like the inside of an ashtray. We splurged and spent 4.99 to get premium WiFi. Turns out it works on one device at a time. The two of us were planning on using three different devices, probably simultaneously. But it's OK, the WiFi connection is so slow we aren't using it at all.

    Decidedly limited dinner choices... settled on salad and a cheese calzone from the one food spot within my new after-the-day's-walk definition of walking distance. Flavor ok, and it contained about 2 pounds of cheese.

    All told, Day 2 was excellent. Feet are holding up, sun hats are taking a beating. Tomorrow, we head to Clinton CT. Rain!

    Red roof?

    24 июня 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌧 23 °C

    The roof on the sign is white. The roof on the building is brown. Poor naming?

    Day 3. Branford to Clinton

    24 июня 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    And we're in. Not as much to do on the route today, but the scenery was really pretty. Lots of colonial era buildings in the cute little towns we went through. Listened to a few podcasts (Planet Money) and some music (free trial of Apple Music) along the way. Started out in pouring rain, which meant we got to pull out the raincoats. Sadly, the coat is plenty big enough to cover the full pack and the sides of the person holding it, but not also the front of that person. Rain didn't last long, though. We've been a bit ahead of schedule, so tomorrow we'll carve out time to visit a laundromat and only have 10 miles planned. Today's Motel (Clinton Motel) is perfectly nice, and we've found the Red Sox game on TV, so we're settled.Читать далее

    Nate's sleeping, and I'm drinking coffee in bed catching up on news and starting to plan our day. Nice start to the day!

    Podcast

    25 июня 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Useful item for long walks: earbud splitter. We're particularly liking Malcolm Gladwell's podcast, "Revisionist History." Sun hats are also very useful.

    We do look a bit incongruous with our hats, hiking shoes, and big backpack. Not your typical Rt 1 garb.Читать далее

    Clinton to Old Saybrook

    25 июня 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Short day today to rest a bit. More marshland, pretty scenery, and not a whole lot else. We did see a whole bunch of three wheeled, open topped cars (? ATV's ? Grown up GoKarts?) today and yesterday. Seems to be the official car of the CT shore. We're pretty happy to just walk, eat, and read/play games on phones, though. We're in a Quality Inn, where we've done our first load of laundry. Sadly, no laundry soap. I added a bunch of hand soap from the bathroom, washed it on hot and crossed my fingers. The came out at least smelling quite clean, which was a substantial improvement. Pizza sauce stains remain. Got take sandwiches and salad from the restaurant across the street... no forks. Salad works ok as finger food. Tomorrow we have another 17 miler, heading to New London. 🙂Читать далее
