Today I went to the Mystic Aquarium, which was a solid choice considering the weather. Unfortunately, the weather itself had other plans. It was cold, windy, and rainy, the kind of day when even the penguins looked like they want to stay inside. Still, the aquarium was great, with sea lions performing in the rain, glowing jellyfish doing their mesmerizing dance, and families trying to take selfies while dodging gusts of wind.
I had planned to stroll around Olde Mistick Village, but the weather felt like a scene from The Perfect Storm, so I decided to keep walking to a minimum. Instead, I drove to New Haven Harbor Lighthouse (also known as Five Mile Point Light). By the time I got there, the fog was so thick it could have starred in a horror movie. I am not entirely sure if I actually saw the lighthouse or just imagined it through the mist.
Then came a highlight, Sally’s Apizza in New Haven. It was absolutely fantastic. The crust, the sauce, the perfect balance of char, all excellent. Of course, I wished for more garlic. There is never enough garlic, that is just a universal truth. 😎
After that, I drove to Norfolk to rest for the night. Driving down I-95 in that storm felt like piloting a submarine. Sheets of rain, tire spray everywhere, wipers going full speed, and feeling like I was in a monsoon. But at least traffic was light, apparently everyone else had the good sense to stay home.
Tomorrow I will be driving into Katonah, New York, for a tour and lunch with a friend, then onward to New York City. I realized tonight that means driving through NYC on a Friday afternoon. So tomorrow’s theme will be “Patience in Action.
