So sorry CN. I stand corrected.

After talking mad shit about CN, I got a little what for about how wrong I am and how much it has to offer. Yesterday, G (as in his name starts with G, not as in yo homie G) and I went and explored the Mystic Coast and no kidding, it was pretty great. The original plan was to go and see the Charles W. Morgan after I read about it and became interested. Ends up she's trapped behind some fence where you can check out all the interesting historical aspects of the Mystic Coast. Excellent.

I am a speed tourist, so I just run around full throttle snapping pictures and yelling about how awesome everything is and then leave. I find it's the best way to do things and really enjoy myself. Luckily G can keep up and we crawled around on the Charles W. Morgan.


She is getting a bit of a make over and doesn't look like much now, but back in her hay day she was spectacular and I bet once they're done with her, she's going to look swell again. We also went aboard the L.A. Dunton which wasn't as large as the Morgan but appealing in her own way.



There were ducks floating around pretending to sleep and no matter how much noise we made, they couldn't have cared less and refused to look up. I found it kind of unnerving and snapped their picture.

What kind of duck pretends to sleep and doesn't at least put it's head up to check you out when you try to scare it? Brave ducks? Is there any such thing? They always seem rather fretful to me...

They have this building full of ship figureheads and it was dark and somber. I can't decide whether I should have at least given the flash a try.






That's it that's all. Lady Liberty is still on the list of things to do. I'm pumped and if anyone has any suggestions of super rad things to do on the east coast, I am all about collecting the knowledge. After this whole CN deal, I especially enjoy when it comes with a tongue lashing about how wrong I am with my harsh judgement and ignorance. I have never enjoyed being proved wrong so much before this...

Stand corrected you do: the abbreviation for Connecticut is CT.
