vermont and crossing the border

As reported in my last post, our first order of business was Ben and Jerry's. But first, to honor a beautiful morning we had a true Vermont breakfast on the patio overlooking the mountains. And it lived up to its reputation. Fresh eggs,Vermont cheddar,Maine blueberries and Vermont maple syrup.
Ben and Jerry's is a very busy place. They were not making ice cream but tours went on,with a free sample of a special flavor. It was interesting but getting too commercial. Off to the Cabot's cheese annex for samples before we headed to Montreal.
have to say, the hotel was not a stellar one. It looked neglected and a bit shabby. And quite a complicated distance to Montreal. It did have a nice pool however.
a visit to old Montreal was sweet. That shows the true character of the city. We made a pit stop to the biosphere, which was created for the 69 exp.
We left this morning for new Hampshire after a pit stop to the Cabot cheese factory and lunch. The weather was incredible and we took scenic roads. It was a picture perfect new England day. 72 degrees, blue skies. Now I know why I love this part of the world.
