Okay, so I shoulda had pizza for lunch and skipped Mickey D's. Who knew I was so close to heaven? So what exactly is in Mystic Connecticut? What is all the hub bub about? Darned if I know. 'It's a great place to visit! There's so much to do there!" There is?
Hmmm...so a few new cheesy looking hotels, Olde Mystik Village, a Starbucks, a Dunk's, reeeeealllllly expensive gas, and....where's the water? Isn't this supposed to be a famous seaport?
SO off I go on alittle adventure. I have my Tomtom, so I cannot possibly get lost. Where IS the water? Down to Main street, over the bridge...where's the parking lot?
Main Street....a few hundred yards of quaint little shops, (no water) and...oh, is that Mystic Pizza up there on the right with the Coors Light neon sign in the window? Somehow I pictured it differently.
I did manage to find the Old Seaport and the Aquarium (right next to Olde Mystik Village)...and I took some photos of old stuff, but it was really about nosing around the stores lining Main Street, and enjoying the sunny weather. After all, I live on the NH Seacoast. You seen one East Coast Seaport, you've seen 'em all.
But I must say, the Tomtom is sweet, we took a slight detour through Foxboro to Gillette Stadium for another photo opportunity. Then homeward to NH.
"Let's have some chowda and a salad and a bottle of wine and watch a movie tonight!"
Digital cable, although way overpriced, can offer some nice movie choices after a long day on the road. The movie selection of the day? Mystic Pizza, of course. The last time I saw it, back in the 80's, Matt Damon was nobody. I will say this. They did not film Mystic Pizza inside the Mystic Pizza shop. Trust me on that one. A little slice of heaven, maybe, but just a plain old ordinary pizza shop.
