After a long drive from Hartford, we arrive in New Haven.......
Apparently also known as "Fransland"...................
We arrive at a Pizzeria to enjoy one of the two things New Haven is famous for........
White clam pizza!! It was DELICIOUS!!!...................
We then visited the other thing New Haven is famous for--Yale University...................
And set out to explore the campus.....................
Even the bricks seem impressed..................

As is Miss Bianca.................................
Ah, the hallowed halls.............................
Almost makes you wanna study.........................
Or pose......................................
There's lots of impressive towers on campus......................

And lots of quiet corners that invite contemplation....................
Building decor....................


Another tower..............................
Do you think they fit in?...........................
A rather obvious attempt to evoke Oxford.................
Some of the towers are quite delicate........................
And some are downright medieval............................
A walk down the main college drag.......................
Can you say "colonial"?.......................
Enjoying the ambiance.............................
A few "unmentionables" line dry out a stone window.......................
I'd hate to arrive at a setting like this after NOT doing my homework!.................
I think this is a dormitory..........................
My precious Baby Binks..................
Cyclists' parking lot..............................................
Supposin' this is a library........................
Enjoying a few interesting details.........................
Dwight's getting bored with all this high-falutin' atmosphere.................
So, it's goodbye to Yale and............................
On to see the rest of New Haven..............
Including their Little Italy................................
That's near Dwight Street........................
And we came here to get......................................
More white clam pizza!!--This one is for the Gotham Girls who have a big grudge bout here tonight.............................
The real reason for coming to Connecticut today was for tonight's bout between the All Star Gotham Girls and the former National Champion Texas Executioners......................
Some of Frannie's Brooklyn Bombshells (that's Frannie in red) are on the all-star team and she is friends with almost the entire Gotham Team!!!

The Gotham Girls are victorious!! Did I mention that they are the National Champions? What a night!--and what a great day in Connecticut!
