Today was a PERFECT Vermont kinda day. After a brief thunderstorm
last night, the temperature dropped, and we woke up to a beautiful, cool
morning. Our quest today: Covered Bridges. We struck out with the intent of
seeing as many of the little gems as we could. We added 18 to
yesterday’s count. These structures are charming but they’re also really cool
pieces of architecture. The construction technique is very impressive and the
light inside some of them is wonderful. Oh, they smell beautiful too. After all
these years, the sweet aroma of old dry wood fills the air inside. Lovely.
There is a rather long video at the end, it has almost all the bridges on it plus some of the landscape we traveled through. Since Rudy's GoPro died in Costa Rica we are doing the videos with a cell phone camera mounted on his bike. Please bear with us, the quality is not the best but we are hopefully that they will serve to give you a good idea of our experience and hopefully entertain .

Our journey took us through several charming Vermont
villages and we stopped for lunch at an old-time diner, right across the street
from a cemetery, which had to be explored. There are small local cemeteries in
nearly every village. This is the first one we’ve been able to take the time to
take a closer look at.

I just want to second Wendy's comment, I love Vermont too. It's a wonderfully peaceful & pastoral place that makes a person relax and enjoy life, but for the cold winters I believe I could live here. Anyway in closing that is all I have to say about that.

Great day in great company.
