A few things about this sleepy Marlborough: It’s kind of fun to say out loud, even harder to spell. They really like circles here. They were scattered all over the town hall…maybe like crop circles...
View ArticleNew London
Sometimes we visit towns on the wrong day. Like in the case of New London, there was a boat parade/street fair that closed down most of the downtown area, so we didn’t get to see everything that we...
