I started my day with a visit to the Connecticut Audubon Society's Milford Coastal Center. There were a few birds around, but I didn't see anything special.
After a little windows shopping, and some lunch, I drove to Sleeping Giant State Park. The park was full, but I managed to find a parking space. I walked up the Tower Trail (along with many other people). What I found interesting, and different from hiking in Israel, was that I couldn't really see any views. Everything was blocked by trees.
There were some nice views from the top of the tower.
On the way down, I decided to take a different, and more difficult, trail. It turned out that it was the most difficult trail in the park. It included some pretty steep ascents, and a very steep descent. At some point I lost the trail, and had to backtrack, and make my own trail, until I got back on the trail.
After catching my breath, and getting back to the car, I drove back home.
We had a nice supper (burgers and chicken on the grill). After supper. Judy and David came over with a birthday cake for me (It was my birthday according to the Hebrew calendar), and we had a nice evening.
David left his jacket, so Judy came back to get it. Before she left, Sara, Judy and I went to get some frozen yogurt.
It was a lovely day.
