Day 2 Bordentown,N.J. to Fairhaven,Mass

Day 2 was intended to be a short five hour drive to somewhere in Massachusetts. It didn't turn out that way as we got caught up in George Washington bridge traffic, a three hour route 95 delay in Connecticut, and more traffic problems near Rhode Island. So late in the day we checked in a motel in Fairhaven Massachusetts. We hadn't eaten anything all day so prior to dinner we drove around and admired the massive and beautiful old wood framed homes that were surrounded by old stately Beech trees. The homes were built in the late eighteen hundreds and early nineteen hundreds by old ship captains. Fairhaven and New Bedford , which is across the river, are the home of the biggest fishing fleet in the U.S. We had very good seafood dinner at Elizabeth's, a small local restaurant in the marina area of Fairhaven.
