After New York City we took the train from Penn Station to New Haven, Connecticut. Unfortunately as we were walking through the station my left contact came out. We sat down and Rich checked my clothes and my hair looking for it. I walked over to where I was standing when I thought it came out and sure enough I found it on the floor. Someone must have stepped on it or rolled their suitcase over it because it is a little flattened out. So I am back to wearing glasses until I can get a replacement.
The train ride was comfortable and on time. Rae met us at the station and we hopped on the Yale shuttle to return to their apartment. We had a wonderful visit with them. One of the days, Rae joined us at the Peabody museum to see their exhibit of dinosaur eggs which also featured hatching emu eggs in an incubator and a new hatched emu for size comparison. Louise, Rae's mother, came up on Thursday and we all had dinner together and had a chance to visit.

different Tony awards this year, and a fun dinner at Becco's with Anneliese, their daughter. Red Hook is an area of urban renewal. Some of the factory and warehouse buildings are being renovated and now house a winery, a whiskey distillery, a factory that makes chocolate, restaurants, glass blowing to help revitalize the area. Unfortunately this area was also hard hit by the storm Sandy. The Red Hook winery was just opening their doors when Sandy hit but they have been able to clean up, repair and rebuild and are open again.
