Capitol of Rhode Island and the Mark Twain House

70 degrees here in the Wolf's Den south of East Haddam, Connecticut at 9:40 PM ESDT
The other day we went to Providence

Rhode Island for a tour of the Capitol.

 It was some 80 miles from our trailer here south of Hartford, CT to there -- a nice day's ride over and back.  Lots of valleys here - you are always climbing 500 feet or so over a series of hills and back down.  And on all curvy roads.

 Today we drove the 35 or so miles north to Hartford, CT and toured Samuel Clemen's home (Mark Twain)  Very interesting tour -- no photos allowed inside.  He was quite a man and led an interesting life.  I have read many of his books, but bought one more - FOLLOWING THE EQUATOR (published in 1897) which was written during and following his around the world trip as he regained finances to pay off huge debts he had occurred.

A Lego Mark Twain

He died in this house, in his bed, in 1910.






We are heading to Trenton, NJ to tour that capitol tomorrow and then have a KOA for the weekend at West Chester, Pennsylvania.
