Our second year in Connecticut was definitely the year of traveling.
We made our big Arizona trip, went to California, to Vermont for skiing and visited many new cities, for example Chicago, Atlanta, Boston, San Francisco.
This country is so huge, you have to travel as much as you can, to get at least a small impression of it in the time you have. I think that I do not have to mention that I love, love traveling. For me there is almost nothing what is more exciting than exploring new areas.
So I did a lot of it in Connecticut, too. During the week just with my son and a friend (Jakob had vacation) and on the weekend with my husband. I would say we got to know Connecticut very well, especially the coast. It was funny when I talked to our American friends and told them what we visited and they never heared about these places before. The Thimble Islands was one of our best discoveries, just gorgeous.
So at the end I could give people some tips for places to go. But this is probably not so unusual, that we all know the area close to us, our city (sometimes even country) less than a foreigner who comes for a visit. (Every American tourist probably knows better the churches in Cologne than I do.)
At least at this point I was sometimes ahead. How satisfying!
