...I highly recommend the Simeone Foundation Museum as a side trip. Here is the web site. http://www.simeonefoundation.org/.Marty's note triggered my memory of a recent radio talk by a Harvard medical school teacher who has done some work on cost effectiveness comparisons in American Health care Systems.
Dr. Fred Simeone, a locally well known retired surgeon, has amassed over 60 vintage racing cars from the beginning of auto racing (1090 on up) and assembled them in a huge building well appointed with stage sets and displays depicting various international race tracks including the famous Mille Miglia Italian road races of the 30's. He has examples of every well known model you could think of, from Bugatti, to Aston-Martin, to Alfa, and many others I had never heard of before, all in mint running condition. Every month, in good weather, they take two cars out back and run them on a small enclosed track. This place is amazing and is not too well known outside of the area....
