Canaan, Connecticut



Western Connecticut is a great place to get away from traffic and to see rolling hills, working farms and wide open spaces. The towns along route 44 are just like Mayberry, USA. Small but bustling downtown Main streets that sit in the shadow of nearby hills and mountains. Many of these small towns still have their old style railroad stations, and cabooses made into diners is a fairly common sight.

You should try doing a scooter trip through western CT.

You can really see a lot at a less hectic pace.

As always, you take excellent photos.

About Me

My photo
Hi, and welcome to my blog! In my working life I'm a cook, and in my personal life I'm married and have two daughters, plus a Chihuahua named Minnie. I am also a culinary school graduate with a degree in pastry arts. When I have a day off the first thing I think about is getting my camera and hitting the road. I've always loved road trips and I've been carrying a camera since I got a 110 Instamatic for my birthday when I was a kid. So, we get in the car and travel all over seeking out new back roads and new places to visit. At least twice a year we head up to the Northeast Kingdom in Vermont and take in some of the best scenery New England has to offer, and we get to New Hampshire, too. We also do some shorter trips to Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and sometimes even New York state (although it's not in New England) and once in a blue moon, we get to Maine. When I'm not on the road I'm right here at home reading, writing, watching some classic television like Andy Griffith, or Minnie and I are out strolling in the cemeteries enjoying the art and remembering the people.
