Day 7 Maine to Danbury, Conn























Corgan, PeeWee and I got up early and took a couple of side roads to say our last goodby to Acadia. There was so much fog, something I associate with Maine.
We stopped at a Denny's and got hot chocolate and I used internet to book us a hotel room for tonight.
There are not many photos for today, it was driving through Maine, New Hampshire, Mass. and finally Conn. For most of that drive, we were in heavy rain and thunderstorms. It made driving difficult and scary. It also cut down on our pit stops. PeeWee was not happy.
We did stop in Salem, Mass and went to a mall that was primary Salem Witch Trial shops, all with merchandise centered around Salem Witches. The nice thing was that PeeWee was allowed in all the stores.
Corgan loved it, especially enjoyed the haunted house in the mall. He is ready to move to Salem. Salem is a difficult city to find one's way in and about. The GPS was not that much help. Corgan is eager to get home and go to the Library to find books about the witch trials. At least he is getting some history and some geography lessons on this trip as well as learning how to use the map. He is making a collection of maps of all the states we have visited.
We hit Hartford during rush hour, followed by Waterbury rush hour. Lots of just sitting in traffic.
Tonight we are in Danbury, Conn in a hotel and ready to just chill out. Tomorrow, we head to West Virginia and then to Shenandoah National Park.
