CT Day Three: Wanted a "real" breakfast this am, so went to "Mange Tout" in New London...all organic food...but the fritatta pannini didn't quite cut it...the southwestern wrap that My got was not bad, but not what I wanted. Then as we left, right next door was a diner...bacon, eggs, hashbrowns! Damn! Maybe another day! So we walked around town a bit and checked out the new improved waterfront - not so scary as it was when My used to live here as a kid. $44 each for bikes to Fischer's Island on the ferry, plus $25 for each person! More expensive than taking a car! We opted NOT to go, and went to the Mystic Aquarium. I was a bit disappointed with the quality and quantity, and it was SO busy with kids on vacation! But the Sea Lion show was cool, as was the exhibit with info on Ballard and his discovery/exploration of the Titanic, ships in the Black Sea, and the Volcano on Santorini...maybe due for another explosion in the future!
Then after filling up the car we headed to Old Lyme to meet up with My's relatives and go to a neighbor's house for a cookout (well, we were in the middle of a rainstorm so it was inside) hot dogs, hamburgers, salad, beans, and a can of Fosters Ale I brought with. Good time on the front porch talking to everyone. Finally filled to the brims we headed back to the relatives for a short visit and then back to the hotel.
