8-16-8 Hartford Ct. bikeride

Picked up Amanda and headed to Hartford Ct. for bike ride.
Turning down side street we found walk way that looked older then London. Thing could really shine with a few hundred gallons of Brasso.








Old armory has me thinking of site at STCC. http://www.nps.gov/spar/ Gotta get back there haven't seen it in while.

















Here's a building with couple of tarnished eagles ready fly, check out daily planet globe like sculpture.





































Getting off the surface streets and headed to State Capital spotted the fountain again. I didn't get good enough pics of the women midway through it last time and wanted to do better. These girls are spooky, I don't care how hard the sun is shining.






































Taking a break at the State Capital, what a massive building lots to see here. http://www.ct.gov/ctportal/cwp/view.asp?a=885&q=246482 Amanda says tours on Saturday start at Ten and are every hour till Two.















































Rolling down the State House driveway we ran into LaFayette at full gallop, a 13inch mortar from the 1860s and Confucius.
























































Across street from State House, Hartford Theater. http://www.bushnell.org/

































































One last stop had us checking to see if Dave was getting any overtime in.










































































Gotta head back, lunch time. We will be back plenty more to see in this town.
