Day 17: New Haven, CT

We're now in Connecticut, but beyond that, not too much happened today.

We did our laundry in NJ then had a quick lunch, then started driving to CT around 1 and got stuck in almost 4 hours of traffic just to get 90ish miles. We got stuck in Bronx traffic, G. Washington Bridge traffic, and CT I-95 traffic. By the time we arrived in New Haven we were ready to stop driving, so we found a hotel for the night and found dinner at Frank Pepe's Pizzeria where we had their famous White Clam Pizza. It was delicious! Clam, garlic and mozzarella cheese. After that we tried to drive around Yale to see the campus but the sun was setting, so instead we stopped for some ice cream in downtown then made our way back to the hotel for the night.

Tomorrow will be a later start as well, we're moving a bit slower because of the heat. Today it was 108 degrees (not counting humidity) in certain spots, so we're just trying to stay cool. We walked into our hotel room today incredibly thankful that our hotel room has a working air conditioner that will keep us comfortable during the night.

That's all, not too much excitement, but it's still hard to believe we've made it this far in such a short time.
