Middlebury & Boston Day 1

Our overnight stop at Middlebury and starting to explore Boston ...

We had a five hour drive back into the US to get to Middlebury in Vermont, US. There is no doubt about it, Vermont really is beautiful - mountains, forests - the lot! This historic Inn was were the Bob Newheart programs were filmed and apparently the haunt of Robert Frost, a famous American poet 

This was the bar (couldn't find all the light switches!) where we had dinner 

Of course, a real moose head over the fireplace

The dining room 

Some beautiful homes we saw on an early morning walk  

A picturesque river that was about 150 metres from the Inn 

Terri and Anne next to the same river 

More houses ... 

My favourite 

Anne with our faithful Honda Accord! We will be returning the rental car as soon as we arrive at Boston - for the record we drove 1,890 miles or 3,024 kms! 

Another beautiful river we found on a forest trail dedicated to Robert Frost 

Having travelled through New Hampshire which was just as beautiful as Vermont, we arrived in Boston about 3.00 pm. We dropped all the luggage at the hotel and then returned the rental car. After a short rest we went exploring and looking for a somewhere for dinner!

Boston is certainly very different to New York and Washington! We found the Quincy Market which had about 30 restaurants to choose from 

Some of the Boston skyline as we explored 

Very warm walking the streets

A "statue" giving out horoscopes for a US$1 a time! Part of the street theatre

A replica of the Cheers Bar. The real one is near the Park and we will check it out when we are over that way 

These two acrobats were fantastic. Yes, one guy is standing on the head of the other (one foot only) and juggling with knives!  

This time a small donut shaped pad between their heads. The top guy is juggling three balls! 

The ladder is held vertical by four ropes held by volunteers from the audience! 

Some more interesting buildings 

And more!
