What's New Pussycat?

The top photo is a clever objecte d'arte made from circular bales of hay. Such a cute kitty. We were driving north and finally got to Burlington where we visited an old printing friend and toured his shop. Then we headed downtown to see their pedestrian mall. The city was very smart as they built a three story shopping center right downtown and the adjacent street is cobblestones and full of small shops and restaurants. They had a parade of teddy bears, each sponsored by a local group or business. We were very impressed with Burlington and especially the beautiful campus of the University of Vermont. We finally started the drive home and had a shock when we arrived at the Burlington Ferry. We had missed the last boat! So, we drove south retracing our earlier route and stopped for some good Italian food along the way. Finally got to the new Champlain Bridge and crossed to New York. Drove through some cute little towns, got on the Northway heading south and home.
