We slept in, brought Alice breakfast in bed and left by
11:00 well rested. We drove to Mystic,
Connecticut, about 1.5 hours to go to Mystic Seaport. It is a replica of a village in the days of
the whaling industry. They have exhibits
and ships to explore. We listened to a
singer that has been there 34 years. He
explained some of the songs that were used for keeping time as the men were
working on the boat. He had us singing
along on many of them. We knew some of
them from our son, Peter, singing sea shanties with his Irish Band.
We left about 5:00 and checked into our room less than a
mile away. We had plans to go out for a
lobster dinner, but we all took naps and ordered pizza delivered to the
room.
