Burlington

Montpelier

Finally, the real reason I was in Vermont

Absolutely spectacular midweek skiing.

Until next time, Vermont!

Nice pictures. I spent a night in Burlington last summer on the way back from a week in Boston and thought it was a great little city. You can tell it's a college town, but even in the middle of summer people were out on patios and whatnot. The main pedestrian street was pretty cool, especially with the church acting as a bookend. It's amazing that a small place like Burlington can have a successful pedestrian mall, but they're virtually unheard of in southern Ontario.

Also, for anyone driving between Montpelier and Burlington, the Ben and Jerry's factory is a pretty good stop along the way. For a couple bucks you get a mini-tour of the factory and free ice cream.

I love New England. These quaint little university towns are a dime a dozen. I also agree that they are, by and large, far more vibrant than small towns in Ontario. Maybe this is simply because of tourism. Small towns in Muskoka or touristy places like Elora do tend to be busy in this way but these places are just fewer and farther between.

They also seem to have a greater respect for their historic buildings.
