We have been in Connecticut for a few days now and it has rained every one of them.
After we were in Maine we went to Cape Cod for a few days. We stayed in Camper’s Haven RV Park in Dennisport. They had a nice little beach right on Nantucket Sound and we hung out there a couple of days. I tried to get my kite up in the air again there but it was too gusty. I
am going to see if I can convert it from an aerobatic kite to a regular one to see if it will fly better. If that doesn’t work, I will find a kite store and get something new. The beach was teaming with shells,which we later discovered were Atlantic Slippers.
From the Cape, we moved to Rhode Island to Fisherman’s Memorial State Park near Judith Point. From there we took the ferry to Block Island to visit with Norm and Shelly Topf. Norm is the brother of a good friend of Ellyn’s, Barbara Uziel, from NCJW. Norm and Shelly are also RVers and members of the Chai Chapter of FMCA. We met them in Brookville, FL this last winter when we attended the FMCA Rally down there. They have a summer home on Block Island and we went to visit with them. They took us out for a day of clamming and kayaking (I paddled around in one of their kayaks and Ellyn got a clamming license). It was good clamming there and Ellyn and Norm raked in enough to make a really good snack of stuffed clams back at the house. Norm cooked them up on the grill and Shelly stuffed them. Afterwards, we spread the clam shells on their driveway and stomped them down to make paving. It is going to take a lot of clams to finish the job.
We came back to Danbury to do some Dr. appointments and pick up our mail. From here we head west to Indiana, Chicago, St. Louis, Boulder, et. al. Watch here for more news as our travels continue.
