One evening during our little trip to West Connecticut we ate dinner at The Village Restaurant in Litchfield. After dinner on West Street I discovered a charming little cobbled alley called Cobble Court. The day ended with a grand sunset.

After the dairy we stopped briefly to look at Sunset Meadow Vineyards in Goshen then drove to the White Memorial Conservation Center in Bantam Connecticut.
I found Thorncrest Farm using Google maps. They sell milk and chocolate: Gourmet Chocolates “The Magic is in our Milk” Thorncrest Farm. We bought both delights. The milk was full cream.

After breakfast we stopped on a quiet lane to photograph this lovely scene. Marc made the last photograph and I edited it. I changed the tarmac to a dirt road in the first one.
We ate breakfast at a local place called the Milk and Honey Grill in the farming area in Goshen Connecticut frequented by locals. There was a goat farm across the road that also had a couple of camels.
We covered a lot of ground on the first day. We drove on the back roads. There are lots of preserves an in the NW corner of Connecticut. The third image is a very odd looking fallen tree.

One of my favorite drives is up the Hudson River along route 9W in New Jersey and up through New York. Starting from the George Washington Bridge we stopped at Greenbrook (a little private nature sanctuary). Next we stopped at the State Line Lookout. Then we drove on up to Iona Island. After that we crossed the Bear Mountain Bridge and drove back down along Route 202 and 9 on the east side of the Hudson.
