Een 189-daags avontuur van Mary Meer informatie
  • Yale

    14 september 2015, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    I was on my way to East Hampton, CT and got distracted by going to visit Yale. It's kinda lame, but I wanted to see the school after watching Gilmore Girls for so many years. I took the tour, learned some interesting facts, and now think I'm going to visit Harvard as well to compare them.Meer informatie

  • My view

    14 september 2015, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Arrived at my host's, Richard and Linda, house for the evening. They have a beautiful home on the lake and this is the great view.

  • Gillette Castle

    15 september 2015, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    I started the day off not wanting to get out of bed because the brisk weather had begun. None the less, I got up and eventually explored this really estate of William Gillette, the first actor to represent Sherlock Holmes on stage. He had his quirks. One being having two bullfrogs as pets that he constantly had to replace because one of his sixteen cats would find another use for them.Meer informatie

  • More about the castle

    15 september 2015, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Mr. Gillette designed the home while he lived on his house boat, Aunt Polly, and decided on the location of the castle because of the great view it provided. He also made an addition to the castle to include a gallery, library, and separate quarters for his family. I learned all this by constantly asking questions since the admission to the castle did not include a guided tour.Meer informatie

  • Salmon river trail

    15 september 2015, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    As usual I find a trail to hike and get a bit lost. This time it turned out for the better. I found this old rusted out car that someone left behind and a small waterfall. I also got to pet a few dogs on my way back and of coarse the great view.Meer informatie

  • Submarine Force Library and Museum

    16 september 2015, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    I found this place in my Google searching. Museum was ok. Going inside the submarine super awesome. I was astonished by how small a lot of the living quarters are. Yes I know it makes sense when you think about it, but seriously being there, it was tiny. I would never want to be sleeping there and accidentally wake up with a bad dream because I would get a pounding headache as well. And there was a pinning ceremony, so lots of guys in uniform.Meer informatie

  • Sitting by the bay

    16 september 2015, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    I met my host, Kelly, and we headed out to his secret spot in Warren to hang out on the bay. We sat talked and I dipped my feet in the water, but didn't have shoes to go all the way in. Not to mention a bit chilly for me. Oh yea we had an awesome lunch at La Lupita. Delicious and cheap food.Meer informatie

  • Newport

    17 september 2015, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Kelly dropped me off at the bus station and I took route 60 all the way down to Newport. This was my great view as soon as I get down the street from the bus station.

  • The Breakers

    17 september 2015, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    I didn't know what to expect, but knew that I wasn't willing to pay to go inside the mansions. By the time I walked over to the Breakers and passed a few mansions I would have changed my mind, however they were already closing. I totally will go back and check them out.Meer informatie

  • Unbeatable sunset

    17 september 2015, Verenigde Staten ⋅ 🌙 22 °C

    I started walking down the cliff walk. I was taken aback while watching the sunset occurring as I was walking. I felt like I was taking a picture every few feet. These are a few of my favorites until I make it back to the bus stop.Meer informatie

  • Freedom trail

    18 september 2015, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    I got to Boston, met up with my host, Nigel, quickly and then headed on my walking adventure of the Freedom Trail. This trail, like all the rest, I got a bit lost on. I figured it out eventually. Lots of history around.Meer informatie

  • USS Constitution

    18 september 2015, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    I went aboard and looked around everything is extremely polished and clean. The more impressive part is the boat is completely out of water. That was really cool to see.

  • Street acts

    18 september 2015, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    I was definitely entertained by the few street acts I saw while walking back to my host's house. I took videos and I am posting them on my YouTube page. Unique acts for the area.

  • Bunker Hill

    19 september 2015, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    I started where I left off yesterday. I climbed up all 294 steps to get to the top and look at the view of the city. Then I headed out to the Harvard campus. I drove around a while, but not very interesting without a tour to put it into context. And apparently no one gives Harvard tours on Saturdays.Meer informatie

  • Salem

    19 september 2015, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Since I walked about 25 miles the past two days, I decided I wanted to take it easy today. I took the car and started to explore. I thought I would find a tour for the Harvard area, but no such luck. I drive around the Cambridge area for a while and then headed out to Salem. I know my view of the city is very skewed because there was just so much traffic. I was driving about a mile every ten minutes. Not fun at all. When I was getting ready to leave I checked to see if I could do the walking tour of Beacon Hill, but they were all booked. That's a tour I would like to come back and do sometime.Meer informatie

  • Parallel parking

    19 september 2015, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    I know most people wouldn't even make a deal of this at all, but I parallel parked in one for today! Pretty good too I think. Learning to drive better because of the New England area.

  • Bar Harbor

    20 september 2015, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    I walked around the town with my host, Clay. Cute area. I'm surprised I'm still in shorts and flip flops in mid September, but I am wearing my jacket to even things out. Now we're having a movie night. Watching Tomorrowland.Meer informatie

  • Beehive trail

    21 september 2015, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Clay recommended going up this trail and I'm glad he did. I have never used iron rods to help climb up the mountain. There were some great views and it was also entertaining to pass this hiker that was scared of going any further up.Meer informatie
