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.
