Connecticut
Not to much happened here... we were only in the state for less than a week. We were still making some good time and we saw a lot of people like Moose and Flame that we didn't see since Virginia. All the towns had "Mad New England flavor" as Icky put it. Lori was meeting us a couple of days out of Kent (a little town where Kevin Bacon lives... I didn't meet him, but some other hikers did.) We were looking forward to getting cleaned up and watching TV, but all the motels were booked or real expensive. So Lori stops at a "package" store (liquor store) and meets Kelly. She was a real free spirit / hippie kind of chick. She tells Lori how to get to her apartment and tells her that we can all make ourselves and home and crash there! Now Icky and I felt real weird about that but...
Of course, Lori drags us there and makes herself right at home! Lori just walks right in and helps herself to food, towels, sheets and whatever else she needs. Icky was checking out her Grateful Dead cd collection. When Kelly came home from work (4 hours later) I asked her why she would let strangers stay at her house?! She said "It was all about karma!" Right on, man!
