Arrived (finally...!) in Princeton after getting dazed and confused. Things are not laid out on a grid around these old New England towns to say the least. Talking to some people in a store and they said everyone gets lost around here and regaled me with numerous stories about themselves to prove it. Also, seems they have something called "jughandles"....sort of an involved round-a-about that means you have to keep changing direction to eventually get through it. Guess we'll recognize it when we see it. The wierdist thing is you can (and we did) end up going south back to Washington when seemingly on the road north. My mind is still spinning. What we have seen of Princeton and the area is very beautiful and impressive....wow! The research library was open till 8pm tonight so Jim took the opportunity of getting started on his research. Currently a thunder and lightning storm which is too bad for a Cinqo de Mayo outdoor festival they have going on around here. Have an ethernet connection in our hotel room so will try to post some pix.
