New England

I thought I'd add some of my picture to the Blog

You can see that Vermont is still recovering, I'm glad we went, tourism seems

to have suffered and they needed visitors. We did not have any crowd or traffic.

I think we met all our goals, Covered bridges? pumkins? lighthouse's?

Moose? colorful leaves? Lobster?

Lots of water in New England, a little rainy, but that did not stop

the hikes through the colorful forest.

New England

The destruction from Hurricane Irene was widespread in Vermont, but we were amazed at all the roads that had been rebuilt in only a few weeks time.  New Englanders from all surrounding states came to pitch in to help.

 Diane had a thing for cemeteries, so we stopped often to observe the tombstones of those from the past

 We came across a delightful little town along the coast of Maine that was having a pumpkin carving contest with HUGE pumpkins
