Fall Time in Vermont



It's Saturday morning and we're packing to return to the train and head back to Chicago. Our Vermont stay was wonderful. The colors aren't quite peak yet. But non the less, it is beautiful. The land is very hilly with breathless views around every turn in the road.

On Thursday we visited a "pick your own" apple orchard. I never realized there were sooooo many varieties of apples. But before that we toured a bit of the Dartmouth campus and had lunch at Molly's in downtown Norwich. The city is everything you could imagine a New England city to be. The day was a bit rainy, but it was still a great day.

That evening we returned home to homemade lental soup and crusty local bread and good family conversation.

On Friday we drove along VT highway 4 to the city of Woodstock (not NY). We saw a number of covered bridges along the way and walked through the quaint little town. Good memories.

So on to Saturday morning. We're on our way to the local farmers market. Then we'll be loading up for the return ride to Albany to reboard the train.

Talk to you from Indy.
