Back home! I am sad this part of my journey ended but getting more excited to head out west next month! It has been awesome walking the streets Twain traveled and seeing the places he lived. His life in New York City was the start of his career and towards the end of his life when he was a beloved American icon. Hartford was the place he found the most happiness being a family man and writing the novels that are so important to us today. This week has given me more insight into his life and I can’t wait to learn more!
This trip would not have been half as educational and fun if I didn’t have Angela to travel with me! Adventure and travel are always better with a best friend! I learned so much more when I had Angela and Jill to discuss the interesting parts of the walking tour and when Angela asked random questions to the guides at the Mark Twain House. If you were wondering, the banisters in Mark Twain’s house would not pass building codes today because they are too short and you could fall over them. The architect of the house designed them short on purpose because it looked better. You can all thank Angela for getting that little nugget of architectural history!
Thank you New York City, Hartford, Angela and Jill!
