I am currently in Stamford, CT with my lovely hosts Mike and Anita - the two in the above photo, captured doing what they do best. It's my first extended stay in this state, and it's really beautiful. When I was younger, I thought that Connecticut would be the perfect place to get married, have beautiful kids and live in the quintessential colonial home with a white picket fence and American flag hanging off the front balcony (where we'd all sit on our porch swing watching the sun set...whoops - I digress), and it looks like this is indeed the case. I feel at times like I'm in a movie, or as Anita has pointed out, on an episode of Dawson's Creek, minus the annoying characters and ridiculously unrealistic dialog.
It's been so nice to be out of the city, relaxing, taking photos and watching cable tv. We headed to the "forests" of Connecticut tonight to take some photos and I had my usual experience with flies/mosquitoes/any insects really - where the whole herd heads straight towards my face and and doesn't leave me alone until I'm officially insane. But it was all worth it as I took my first real photos with my large format camera and only ruined ONE polaroid. Very exciting stuff.
So that's about it from Happy Town, America - living the life and enjoying my first part of the journey. I'll let you go while I get back to my glass of wine and classical music on the radio. (cue a lengthy, dramatic, content sigh)

krissy i got your card... thank you very much! i miss you:( you need to come back for a holiday
I'm pretty sure DC should be the next stop after CT. Who are you kidding? It's totally on the way!
What about a stop in Franklin, MA? It has hot-spots like...the first library ever built in the United States! And...plenty of chinese restaurants. Please come.
we will miss you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I used to dream of living in the quintessential CT as well!
Can't wait to see you on Wednesday!
