We flew into Boston, planning to walk part of the 'Freedom Trail'. Our flights were delayed and by the time we were in our car, rain was falling, the wind was blowing and it was getting dark. So we postponed the walk until another time and headed toward Connecticut. The next morning was sunny, crisp and cool. We stopped to visit Old Sturbridge Village , a 200-acre living-history museum with more than 40 restored buildings from various parts of New England. 
We arrived too early to be admitted, but were able to see enough of the village that we will make this stop another time. 
The fall leaves were at their peak color as we drove through Massachusetts and Connecticut.
It was a beautiful day for sitting on the deck, eating lunch or reading the paper. 
Some of us were lucky enough to be 'honored' with a visit from Shadow - the 'escape' kitty. 
We strolled and shopped in New Canaan then stopped at Rowayton Beach to soak up some sun and walk along the sandy beach before an excellent dinner at Quattro Pazzi Restaurant . 
The brothers, Floyd and Lloyd, are new additions to the household. This is Lloyd. Floyd, who is especially shy, would not come out for a visit. He reminded us of another 'shy' kitty that we knew.
