Geo: 40.5268, -74.3935Not a great travel day today...rainy, overcast, and high winds. Drove down Rt 1A along the coast of Rhode Island. There is definitely some money in RI. Incredible houses along the coast.We left there on our way to New Haven, CT to see the Yale Campus.....not impressed. It was drizzling and overcast, which didn't help, but the area was not that attractive, and no place to park an RV. So, we left to see what else we could find in CT. Most of the historic areas were blocked by low clearance overpasses; challenging when driving an RV. Finally, we just decided to get out of CT.Then, we hit I-95 going through New York City....50 minutes to go 4 miles over the Triboro Bridge. Long day of driving.....or sitting. But, this was really the first ... read more

N wanted to join me for the morning walk. But we could walk only for five minutes. It was too cold and windy at 7 am. So we came back. I waited all day for the warm weather. It did not happen at all. Although sun was up and bright even at noon it was cold. Found the movie ‘Witness for the prosecution’ after over ten years of search. Great movie. After lunch slept till 3:25. Rushed to the school for the 3:30 appointment for N for the tour of classroom-Montessori Method in Sahana’s school. Then went to Shop Rite for groceries before returning home. At 6:00 pm Ravi came and picked us up. Went to his house and then to Balaji Temple and Oak Tree Street with all the Indian shops and restaurants. Came back ... read more

The dust bin at home has a sensor that detects the movement of the hand. It opens and shuts automatically.

N got up at 930pm and had dinner. Watched what we thought was the old version of Titanic movie, but that happened to be a serial. Then watched the last part of Bodyguard, screened to celebrate 20 years of it's release and then watched Officer and Gentleman, celebrating it's 30th year. Nandhini and alaji came home after drama at around 10.30pm. They enjoyed the play put up by the Indian community 'Americavil Thiruvilaiyadal' and Crazy Mohan's 'Chocolate Krishna'. Nandhini's neighbor, living in the opposit apt. popped in. They are telugu people and have a 1 year old son Sai. They left at 11.30pm and Nandhini and fly retired to bed. They were really tired. We continued watching Officer and a Gentleman and slept at 1.00am. In the Costco we saw many old ladies working as sample ... read more
