Traffic around New York
UConn Starbucks bloggerSunday July 13, 2008
We decided to try and get an early start and did pretty good. Carmen told us that the Pine View Motel right down the pike from our campgrounds had great breakfast (especially the home fries) so we ate breakfast there on our way out. He wasn’t wrong…some of the best homefries I have ever eaten (and we didn’t even get the super J.R. homefries with cheese, peppers and onions). Greg drove us up the NJ Turnpike with his great directions from Uncles Lou and Buddy while I updated the blog. New York roads just about shook our teeth loose but we finally made it through the Bronx and almost $50 in tolls (I said I wasn’t going to gripe about gas prices but I made no promises about tolls!). Connecticut roads are better and we finally stopped at Moosehead Campgrounds “Resort”, and I do use the term resort loosely. We chose them because they advertised internet access, but alas, we are now in the Starbucks at UConn. If they had internet we would have never seen UConn. It is smaller than you would think and in a really little town called Storrs. Things are very quite because it is summer, but some of the old buildings remind me of the original ones at UF, only they are spread out. It is an Ag school (yea Aggies!) with a Floriculture center and lots of flowers. I believe we will finish this blog (it is 5pm) check e-mail and maybe eat something light because we ate Aunt Mazie’s chicken marsala for “lunch” at about 3:30. Our RV site is not the nicest so we will probably go to bed early.
