Hartford

I went to Hartford (or rather, Simsbury) for an interview mid January. It was cold there and unfortunately for Hartford, its selling point was that it's two hours from New York City and two hours from Boston. Hartford, itself, is basically a small town (I took a 16-seater propeller plane there from Toronto) but it's the home of many insurance companies. It's another one of those cities that you can't survive in without a car. Downtown Hartford looks kind of run-down. Although the interview went well and the job seemed like a good one, I'm too much of a city girl to be starting a life in Hartford. People are extremely nice and one lady even drove me around the city to show me around. The pictures I had ended up mostly blurry and those that weren't blurry weren't that exciting. As a result, the picture here is not that interesting either but the lighting was good. I did have amazing clam chowder at Pettibones Tavern... and I stayed at the Simsbury Inn where I had the luxury of a king-size canopy bed!
