Mystic Travel Blogs

Connecticut was next on my journey through the US.  Why?  because it is close to NYC and I had a free day!  So my friend Chip and I got into his car, grabbed some Dunkin' Donuts, (coffee and an egg and cheese sandwich) and hit the open road early Saturday morning. …

Mystic, on Connecticut’s easternmost shoreline, and the “quiet corner” of the state, directly north, present a range of imagery for visitors, from 19th-century shipbuilding and sailing at Mystic Seaport to the glitz of the two immense casinos: Foxwoods Resort and Casino at Mashantucket an…

Remember Julia Robert's first (?) movie "Mystic Pizza"? It was shot in a town mysteriously named Mystic, in a pizza place the scriptwriter chose because of the 'slice of heaven'-pizza. Well, I was to find out about the mystery. Especially since, after having pizza in many countries, I still th…

Beautiful Connecticut! Mystic really is a little "slice of heaven".

The last time I was in Mystic, it was peak fall season and there wasn't any parking. This time, i actually found parking, and walked along quiet, water front streets. I am thoroughly impressed with this quaint town. I imagine it being hellish during the summer, but in the spring, one can sit on a quiet bench and simply gaze at the floating wooden boats, while smelling the most common colonial plant, lilac. I would live here, if I thought for a moment that every day was as peaceful as today.

This was our first trip to New England

In search of great pizza! I'm too lazy to type this blog, but if you go to travbuddy freak0ut's page you can read her blog about the same trip.
