Vermont

We are now in Vermont on an island in Lake Champlain which has one shore in New York and the other in Vermont. Our RV resort has a 9-hole executive golf course and guests can play one week of unlimited golf for only $45. So Tom has been out golfing every morning, and some afternoons too.

It's a beautiful area. Lots of oaks, maples, birch, spruce, pine and other trees I can't identify. The leaves are just starting to change so we are getting a preview of the fall color show to come.

We're just outside of Burlington which is Vermont's largest city. You'd never know it from driving around though. Other than a very small old downtown area and the University of Vermont campus, there are no large commercially developed areas anywhere that we have found. Just little pockets of commerce here and there. We went to Costco, Walmart and Best Buy yesterday and until we were practically right in their parking lots, we felt like we were in the middle of nowhere most of the time.

Burlington is home to Ben & Jerry's ice cream corporate headquaters and their factory is about 40 miles away in Waterbury. We plan to visit the factory to take their tour this week.
