Just outside the city at Richmond, we stopped to see "The Old Round Church." A 16-sided building, constructed in 1812-13 as a worship place for five different denominations (http://www.oldroundchurch.com/). Today it's used for special events, such as concerts and weddings. We arrived too early and were unable to see inside.
Stopped at a small shopping complex, near Waterbury, wherein they sold Cabot Cheese, Vermont Wine and Chocolate. The manager of the Cabot Cheese store had just returned from a week in Nova Scotia and PEI. She thoroughly enjoyed her trip, though the weather was somewhat dreary. There were few visitors and, at times, she was able to drive for 30-45 minutes without seeing another car! Due to the lack of tourists, service personnel were very attentive wherever she went. We can hardly wait.
The highlight of the day, I guess, was a visit to Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory. We had the obligatory ice cream (it WAS very good) and purchased a small souvenir. The crowd was much smaller than we expected; we were the only RV in the parking lot when we left. In fact, we have seen very few RVs during this part of the trip.
We drove through some pretty scenic stuff in the White Mountains of NH. Lots of weekend visitors from MA, ME, NY, CT, and RI. Some crowded roads. We're now in a very quiet RV park (only two kids!) near the Maine state line. Supposed to be a heavy thunderstorm in a few hours, but might be better tomorrow.
Tomorrow we may stop at the Welhelm Reich museum. Didn't know anything about him, but found out he might have been a little strange. See a wiki about him at - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Reich. Maybe we'll learn a little!
