It was uruguayan writer Mario Benedetti who said that_ "Cities are meant to be read with the feet". I totally agree with that statement.
As a way of souvenir, usually I take the picture of my/our feet on the covers that bare the name of cities that I/we visit in order of making my blink of the eye to "Mario". Sadly this time, because of the Hurricane Sandy that hit the East Coast on last Sunday/Monday nights, Dawn and I were not able to do much on the state of Connecticut as I have planned during our visit to that state, reason why I did not take the "symbolic picture", hoping to return some day to do it better.
Still on Tuesday I managed to drive down to Downtown Hartford ( Connecticut's capital) to visit the home of the great adventurer, writer and also a great supporter of civil rights_ Samuel Langhorne Clemens (better known as Mark Twain). Sadly (that's my luck), because of the weather on the previous days, the museum that operates there was closed, but I still managed to photograph the outside of the house, which is beautiful as it was the life of the man that once lived there. Those photos, which I decided to turn into the compositions seen below, I would like to share here today. The inside...? well I guess will be the excuse for a come back someday.
Cheers.
