Wow! New England! New York was another pretty quick state, although rugged, and now we’re onto Connecticut. It’s not even mid August and the weather feels like Autumn. There was a crispness to the air all day even though the sky was clear and sunny.
It was a pretty long day for a town day but we made good time. Arriving at Kent we were greeted by what was clearly an upscale New England town. Most of the half mile road walk into town was along Kent School, perhaps a boarding school? Either way all the campus looked incredible.
After our bad experience last night and limited choices in town we decided to stay at Fife N Drum. Their rooms were pretty reasonable, probably mostly because it wasn’t the weekend. The best part was that we decided to treat ourselves to dinner at their restaurant instead of going elsewhere in town. It was a nice white-table cloth place, but they had pub food as well. I decided to enjoy a house-special filet mignon au poivre flambe. One of the best steaks I’ve ever had. We were all super tired from the bad night last night and were passing out shortly after dinner was over.
