Mrs H wants to go northeast for our next trip. She's got Mysic, CT on
the mind for some reason. One of her friends mentioned it as a nice
place to visit. Anyone know anything about the place?

Anything and everything. Seaport, Aquarium, Groton, Watch Hill and
environs - plenty to see and do.

I'd be glad to be a tour guide.

Don't forget "Water Fire" in Providence. Booooring!

Heh...well it's for a good cause.

Friends of ours down here from Providence drug us up there a couple of
years
ago for a visit. Most everything was neat except for WF. Especially liked
Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. They satisfied my blackjack thirst for a while.


Ever go to Waltzing Waters when it was outdoors on Pine Island?
Skeeters kept me from getting bored.
Nah. It was actually pretty nice.
Is Water Fire something like that?

Not sure what Waltzing Waters is or Pine Island. Is that one of the
"attractions" up in the Dells?

WF is a river/canal that runs through Providence. At night they light fires
along the route in baskets in the water that are stocked and stoked by
gondoliers all dressed in black. Really "spooky". Music is played from a
sound system along the riverside. People walk along the river ooohing and
aaaaawing.

Saw lots of youngun's sitting along the route swapping spit like you and I
may have done with our dates 50 or 60 years ago. We used to call it
submarine races down my the Lake Michigan shore.

Oooops. Storms is here with the lights blinking and the dsl connection
dropping in and out. But what the hey, we need the rain, just no
hurricanes.
