8-2-8 Hartford CT.

Hoping to get some work today amanda and I stayed close to airport. Taking bike path from Riverside Park http://www.riverfront.org/ We set off for ride in Hartford CT. Elevator ride from path to street level allowed us to be rebels in a union stronghold. Easy bike riding today on a Saturday probably even better on Sunday, no traffic.
Old State house center piece of Hartford.








Old carousel from days gone by. http://www.bushnellpark.org/default.asp










Archway tribute to civil war fallen. State house deserves more visits really close to bike path.














Down the hill on the lawn of the State House is a great fountain. Lady's in the center will have you staring waiting for them to open there eyes, spooky gotta get outta here.





























First Spanish American War memorial Ive ever seen.






































City clearly built around these two houses. Thick slate roof on first building in Bushnell Park.
