Sucess!

I've found it. I've found the cheap delicious Connecticut specialty I was looking for. I was looking for all the wrong things. I looked for seafood and ethnic foods and all sorts of exotic things that I might possibly find for cheap. But the real food of Connecticut: HOTDOGS!

Really, you just can't go wrong with a hotdog stand named "Super Duper Weenie" that used to operate out of the back of a truck. It was amazing. I didn't get any pictures of it, but I'll get some soon. $6 for a New Englander Hot dog and fries. Totally worth it.

There's also some other hotdog places I've got to try too. Apparantly, the other main style of hotdog here in Connecticut is deepfried, which as you all know, is my favorite way of cooking.

The Roadtrip video is finally up

So, I've been slacking off ever since I've made it to Bridgeport, but I've finally finished the time-lapse video of the drive. I didn't set it to music, but if really want, you can turn on your itunes and pretend like I did. I posted it in two parts on youtube.

Also, all my pictures are up both on facebook and on webshots.

The total tallies are as follows
4583 miles
14 states
2 countries
73 hours of driving
128.584 gallons of gas
35.64 average MPG
62.7 MPH average speed
4,587 pictures (3.08 GB)
0 car breakdowns
0 medical emergencies
5 wrong turns
7 near accidents

All in all, one good road trip. But now I have to go back to doing that "school" thing. Which is not quite as much fun as road tripping.

Eventually, I'll post up the individual adventures and eating locations. It'll take some time though. I'm awfully lazy.
