The Saturday Morning post: 50 States in 52 weeks: Connecticut

The New England region was one of the last parts of the United States that I explored.  My first time in Connecticut was a trip to Boston by train, a wonderful slow ride across the state.  

Then in February of 2024, I went to a conference on Elder Abuse at Yale Law School in New Haven, Connecticut.  I took the train up the day before, spent the night, attended the program, and took the train home.  

A real highlight for me was the rare book library. Wow! 

Connecticut is north of New York, along the east coast of the United States.  While the urban area of New York city casts a deep shadow over the state, there are many, many small towns, farm areas, and natural areas.  A very pretty part of the country.

  1. If it wasn't for the very cold winters, I think it is perhaps New England is the most desirable area in which to live.

    1. The winters are a bit colder and snowier than I prefer.

  2. I worked at Yale for a couple of years and lived in Connecticut for 7. A beautiful, historic state.

  3. CT is very near and dear to our heart. We spend more time there away from home than any other place.

  5. I always felt Connecticut would be a good spot to land; the history, the proximity to NYC.
    But the winters .... We once almost ended up in New Hampshire but ... again ... the winters.
    That library looks amazing.

    1. I am unlikely to live any farther north, especially with next weeks snow forecast.
