Sight seeing

Today we went around New Haven seeing some sights. But mostly it was too hot. Went to Fort Nathan Hale which originally was used in Revolutionary times. Back to Yale for the tour. Too hot. Main excitement was that I got distracted in the Bienecke Library, (dramatic rare books) and lost the tour group. Phone in car. I trudged back to the visitor center, finding out that they ended the tour at the Book Store. Mary Ann then found me. Leaving increasingly irate phone calls on the cell phone in the car. By that time, we were all too hot to think. Stopped for ice cream on the way back to Cheshire for some quiet cooloff time. We went to this restaurant at the beach in Mamonguin (know that's spelled wrong) where Mary Ann remembering my mom and aunt and everybody eating. On the beach where some family members owned cottages used to own some beach cottages. A long time ago. Nice place and we all enjoyed each other's company but it took 2 hours to get our meal. Turned out we took the walk on the beach in the dark and watched some unesxpected excellent fireworks......
