Hartford, CT

Since most of the rain was east of us, we decided to head west to Hartford and visit the Mark Twain House & Museum. In the lobby was a life-sized statue of Mark Twain (the pen name of Samuel Clemens) made entirely out of Legos. I'm going to break tradition here, and perhaps start a new trend, with a picture of Susan with a dead Author. We took a guided tour of the house where he lived from 1874 to 1891 and wrote so many of his classic tales. Photography was not allowed inside which is a real shame since the place was very beautiful and unique compared with most of the other homes we've toured in the past. This picture of the outside should give you a good idea of the overall architecture. Oh yes, we actually saw the sun for the first time in 4 days when we exited the house. Wow!
