Trip to New Haven, CT

On Saturday, John and I took a day trip to New Haven, Connecticut, home of Yale University.  The purpose of our trip was to visit one of John's friends from college who is currently studying at Yale Divinity School.  Since arriving in New York, I have spent very little time out of the city.

We purchased tickets for the 3:07pm train from Grand Central to New Haven.

Grand Central was very busy last Saturday.  While waiting for John, I enjoyed people watching...

And looking at the beautiful windows...

And the ceiling!  I had never noticed that the ceiling is such a lovely shade of green.

John arrived with a little treat for us to share on the train...  A Frosty!  He certainly knows the way to a woman's heart.

After two hours on the train (John studying, I looking out the window), we arrived in New Haven.  John's friend met us at the station and took us on a tour around town. 

We saw this famous church...

And this very dark building which once housed Jonathan Edwards' office...

We also saw the library where Bill and Hillary Clinton's romance blossomed... But I neglected to take a photo of that.

We finished off our tour of New Haven with dinner at "BAR," a very trendy coal-fired pizza place.  Our seats had a perfect view of the pizza oven.

After dinner, we headed back on the train to New York City.  It was a brief trip, but a wonderful memory.
