Vermontx55: Burlington & Montpelier
In June, I toured through the Northeastern US (NJ-PA-NY-VT-NH-MA-CT-NY) for 3 days, here are a couple of pics I took of two of Vermont's larger cities. I would have loved to continue onto Montreal, as it's only a little bit further north from Burlington, but I had to make my way south to reach JFK in time 2 days later, for my flight back to Europe. Ah well, another time.
In general, I found that the two cities were well-preserved. Of course, the state hasn't seen any astonishing growth recently, so what was already there was well-looked after.
Starting off with Burlington, on "New England's West Coast" (Lake Camplain). It kind of felt like San Fran meets New England.
I loved all the old houses.
Approaching the City Center.
Now for some views from the roof of a local parking garage.
.
I got some delicious crepes at this street.
Can you say Quebec?
Friendly sidewalk.
Montpelier, the state capitol. Remarkably, the city's name deviates from it's French counterpart, Montpellier.
Beats your average sunbelt state Jiffy Lube station.
I've seen this type of building along a creek more often in the UK, Germany and Belgium. Also more common in Ontario I believe.
Hope you enjoyed Vermont!
