Milford

Milford is a gorgeous town in Connecticut. We visited the Mayor of Milford, James Richetteli; wandered through the Duck park; lunch at Stonebridge and even a tour of Milford's fire department.

Wilton and Guilford Libraries

Wilton Library has something I have never seen in Australia - a drive through service. Drop your books and other loans off at the drive through, and even pick up reservations and pay fines. The courtyard area is a wonderful area for functions, with seating, and a fountain.





Guilford Library integrates an old building with a new almost seamlessly. I would happily work from their local studies room all day long.

Cato Corner Farm

Wednesday, April 21, 2010.

A tour of Cato Corner Farm was lots of fun and not only because we had a taste testing of all the cheeses made on the premises. I love that gold washed rind!

Well it's the end of the third week and the time has flown by so fast. I have met some wonderful people and seen some amazing places like Wolf Park in Monroe where we had a guided tour and as we came out of the woods into an opening we saw a beautiful man made lake where we were able to take our shoes off and dip our toes in the water. We have also been to district conference in Burlington, Vermont where we bonded with the South African team and sang a song together at the Saturday night function "We Are The World". So far my favourite experience has been going on my vocational days and riding along with the Fairfield Police and visiting the FBI and DEA. I have been surprised by how welcoming my host families have been and how they have made me feel like part of their family in such a short period of time. I have definately built friendships that will last a lifetime.
