... not to mention eating way the Hqiz too much.

But then, what are road trips for if not to enjoy the gastronomical delights along the way?

Met

coyoty at Tinker's in Hartford for lunch - the food was supreme. He has posted some pictures of the event here.

A couple of others:

Coyoty examines the Toonfish

Left Hartford at about 2:00, expecting to arrive in Malaga, NJ around 7:00. My previous post mentions the hideous traffic I encountered, which resulted in my getting to LionKing's house around 8:30 instead. He gave me the grand tour of his property - two acres of beautiful, wooded land, and a very comfortable homestead. I envy him the comfort of his domain. We sat around the fire which was cheerily warming his back yard, surrounded by tiki torches, until it got dark, and then headed down the road to Cap'n Cat's, a wonderful local fish bar.

I ate clams on the half shell and crab legs - groan belch groan - but that was nothing to the mass quantities that LionKing consumed - 5,000 shrimp and at least 1,000 clams. Well, it sure looked like that.

After dinner we enjoyed the fire for a while longer before retiring - I was given a comfortable room decorated with many lions, and ended the day grateful for friends.
