Yesterday we went to Mystic Seaport in Conn. It’s an outdoor sea museum. There is a replica of the ship Amistad that was used for slave trade. Also, they had a small bank that was basically used to hold valuables and issue it’s own bank notes. No checking or savings accounts in the early 1800's. On the way home I took a picture of a stone fence. Each state seems to have something unique. Conn has a lot of these stone fences along the roads. Even the campground where we are staying has one around one campground site. It seems like a lot of work since some of these fences stretch several hundred yards and are 2 to 3 feet thick.
I got in my first disagreement with a campground owner while checking in. I paid for a weekly rate ($150), and unlike almost any other campground in the world they consider a week to be 6 nights here. I was always pretty good at math, and tried to explain that a week is 7 days and nights, but finally I was told - "That’s the rules. If you don’t like it you can leave". After about a 5 hour drive I decided to stay. I did some quick math and I’m out about $21.43. On a related note, there is a nice website called http://www.campgroundreviews.com/ People that stay in campgrounds can write their reviews in this website giving positive and negative feedback. Look for my review in about a week for Lake Williams Campground, Lebanon, CT. Because of them there’s some poor poker player at Foxwoods Casino that wasn’t able to win another $21.43 from me.
