On September 2nd, we left our campsite in Albany and drove through Massachusetts on our way to the capitol in Hartford, Connecticut. When we were outside the jeep, getting ready to go inside the building, a lady in a van stopped right there in the road to welcome us to Connecticut since she saw our license plate from NM. She talked to us for a while about our trip and suggested some things to go see. She was very friendly. It made us like Connecticut even more. We took a tour of the capitol building and we really liked it. The inside was good but the grounds surrounding the Capitol were even more impressive, It is so beautiful and filled with people using it as a park. The building sits up on a hill with sidewalks meandering all around with benches too so it made it very welcoming. Most other capitol grounds were not like that. We then walked a few blocks and took a tour of the Old State House – their first state capitol. It was quite impressive too. Maybe most impressive is that they never tore it down. Several other cities’s had an earlier building, or three, before their current one but each time the others had burned down or had been torn down.
