Northeast trip: Stop 2 (New Haven)


I already planned to tour Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass., so when I realized I'd be passing Yale University, I thought I might as well see that campus, too. I had a bit of a mix-up when getting off the interstate but eventually I made it to the campus. It was absolutely gorgeous!


I'm sure my pictures don't do it justice. I didn't have time for a tour, but I would love to go back and take one. I just wandered around past all the old stone buildings with intricate carvings of pictures and words and through the old archways and courtyards.


I walked through one large building, which seemed to be open to the public. It was Woolsey Hall/Memorial Hall/Commons. The main portion I saw was Memorial Hall, but I peeked in the Commons and had to take a picture: It looked exactly like the dining hall from "Gilmore Girls." (Rory did go to Yale, so it seems the show had a pretty accurate reproduction.)
