New England Byways

2013 New England, New York, Road Trip, States

We enjoyed Greg’s company this morning before it was time for him to head to the office. Rachel’s new schedule has her at home working on other projects on Mondays so we had time for some interesting discussions with her as we organized ourselves for departure. Part of the logistics was choosing the right time to back the trailer out of the drive as pattern of parked cars on Redwood shifted. As near neighbors left for work their spaces were being taken by commuters who park on Redwood then walk to the T station nearby. We left town by heading south on Dorchester Avenue then heading essentially west avoiding all opportunities to travel on the interstate or the freeway. It’s an exercise in intense navigation but worth the effort. Traveling the byways through New England towns takes more time but is much more interesting and makes for better gas mileage when we are hauling the trailer. West and south through Massachusetts and a corner of Connecticut. Then on into upstate New York. We crossed the Hudson and found a Jellystone campground, Lazy River, near Poughkeepsie NY just before dark.

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.

Bletchley Park

It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
