Yale University

On our way to New York City, the traveling brigade stopped off at Yale University in New Haven, CT. While Jon earned his Master’s degree here, the University gave more than enough reason on its own to win the travelers attention. Founded in 1701, Yale is one of the oldest and most well known universities in the United States. Its architecture harks back to several different ages, some of which was captured by Fernando Mayorga in the photos below.
