Tour to New Hampshire

Few days back I went to New Hampshire with a couple of friends to see the fall color. The place, as was heard, is really very beautiful, especially during this time of the year. Though the initial start of the tour was not so good with a minor accident happening in Norwalk, causing the delay and upsetting the mood of all, but in all the tour was still good.

Norwalk is a place in CT where I have seen the most reckless drivers. We happened to move into the interior of this place to get one of our car replaced as it’s muffler was making a lot of noise. When we were about to take the ramp for I-90 we were hit by a car who was following us very closely. As usual we called 911, the police came, after a much long wait of 20 mins(that was weird) and the things were being settled, just then at the same spot in the same fashion as if it was a replay and the time has moved back for 30 mins, another pair of cars collided. Their settlement did’nt took long because the police was ready available right at the spot :)
No wonder why he had taken almost more than 20 mins to arrive to the spot in our case. He must have settled 2-3 more cases on his way…. ha ha ha.
As we moved we noticed almost 4 more accidents within say 2 miles (one way).
*Note – I am not considering the radius here.*
We thought it just may be the day as it’s raining heavily. But as we took the highway, we saw drivers changing 3 lanes straight with no indicators, driving at 80-90 MPH when it was almost difficult to see things beyond 15 mts.
So this is Norwalk, CT. If you ever need to go there, be careful I say :)
Anyway so coming down to describing the beauty of NH, well the place has got several places of interests, the most famous being Mt. Washington, which unluckily we could not make as the tracks were closed because of the heavy rainfall the other day. But we did got to see the beautiful valley of the White Mountains, the river streams and a waterfall. I got photos uploaded here for you guys to admire and *fall* in love with the beauty during the Fall season here in NH.
