On down the east coast we go. Next stop is in New Haven, CT home to Yale university. The architecture is incredible, it is designed to look really old... it is old, from the 20s and 30s, but designed in the gothic style to look even older. Here is an example of what many of the building look like:
Yale has a Rare Books Library containing some neat old stuff and they have put it in a building with thin marble walls. The walls block out the UV light, thus protecting the books, but still let in some natural light.
There was an exhibit on avant-garde and counter culture protest art. Lots of cool posters
One of the many secret societies at Yale.. Skull and Bones!
Went on a walk of New Haven and a park the overlooks the city, it turned out to be more of an adventure than we expected, after we took a wrong turn and ended up circumnavigating the hill.
I told you it was an adventure.
This place claims to have invented the hamburger, no ketchup or mustard allowed. Javier wolfing it down like a hyaena.
