Mystic Pizza

Wednesday, May 26 - Yes, we did it. We ate at Mystic Pizza. The ultimate tourist destination in this tourist destination. But, we're tourists, so what the heck. It really is a real place, and was even before the 1988 movie. The pizza and pizza wraps are actually great.

It's a cute little town right on the water, and as we were admiring it's famous drawbridge, there was suddenly a flash rainstorm while the sun was still out. There was a rainbow as the rain let up, which Sandy thought was a great way to start the road trip.

We've decided that the word of the day is "Bascule," which is both the name and type of drawbridge which connects the two sides of Mystic's downtown across the river. Bascule is French for "seesaw."

After dinner, after it cleared up, there was this amazing cloud which was reflecting on the Mystic River.

  1. Hello Madeline here. I am sorry I am a little late with my posting. Frankly, I was at the playground basculing all afternoon, and had very little opportunity to check in until now.
