Niantic, Connecticut

When we lived in Washington, D.C. in the early sixties, Dick and Jan were dating and came to our house to play cards.  We went our separate ways, but managed to stay in touch and even got together the last time we were stationed in D.C. when they were passing through.  Dick is now retired and was available to be our tour guide for part of the time we were in the area.  When Gerry and Dick started comparing notes of people they both knew, Bob's name came up.  He lives in the area and joined us for pizza one night.  What a small world!   Besides checking out Mystic, we walked through Stonington with Dick & Jan.  It's a quaint little seaport village with wonderful old cape cod homes, many refurbished or at least painted - also very expensive as it is an exclusive area.

We found a campground in Bourne, Massachusetts near the canal.  As luck would have it, Chuck and Helen, the couple we met in Florida on their wedding day (second marriage for both) are workcamping on the Cape for six months.   Their RV was parked about a mile from where we ended up.  They work for 61 days out of six months, get paid and have a secure, full-hookup site while they're there.  They showed us around the Bourne area.
