Vermont & New Hampshire

Vermont is as pretty as you imagine it will be. It's small villages with village greens, white clapboard houses and churches, covered bridges, snow-capped peaks and forests. It's small. It's quaint. It's quiet. There is hardly anyone around (and it isn't clear what those who are around might fill their time with other than skiing and admiring the view!). There is not a building over three stories high. There is not a housing development in sight. It's small-town America at it's best.

We spent 2.5 days cruising the empty streets enjoying the peace and sweetness of towns like Woodstock and Grafton.

Also a quick visit to New Hampshire (state motto is 'Live Free or Die', which is very bold for another teeny state) for dinner in Hanover, the home of Ivy League Dartmouth College and Murphy's on the Green - good food and itinerary advice from the owner. http://www.murphysonthegreen.com/
