Staying in touch

Of all the cool things we’ve seen on the trip, and we’ve seen a lot so far, one of my favorite stops was New Haven, Connecticut. The food at P&M Market was good, and seeing Yale was pretty cool, but the best part was catching up with an old friend.

I’m admittedly somewhat of a loner, which makes me fairly bad at staying in touch with people, but one thing we all need more of in life is good friends…and chocolate (hint: don’t miss Day 14!).
