CT day 3

Our last day in CT and the last day of our trip. Tomorrow, we fly back to JB and back to the US. 

Breakfast was at a hipster coffee shop, The Power and The Glory. I got a pretzel dog with cornichons. It was good. 

We then made a longish walk down to the Victoria and Albert Waterfront and looked all around. 

There were some lounging fur seals:

In the big food court, there were all sorts of familiar (tarts, cookies, smoothies) and exotic (game kebabs, fresh biltong, African) eats. Here's some local stew next to samosas:

We walked back to the hotel. Matt and Gabe tried out the Turkish bath while
I lounged in the room. We tried out a fancy place for dinner called 95 Keerom. Its chef had apparently won the 2013 World Pasta Championship. As part of my dinner, I got the winning dish, a broccoli orichiette:
It was maybe too subtle for my tastes. The rest of the dinner was good, but not quite as good as a couple of the other places we've been to. In all, it was a bit underwhelming.
