Burlington, Vermont

A week or so ago Michelle and I left Canton and drove 4 or 5 hours to Burlington Vermont. We stayed with a guy named Ross we met on couchsurfing. I gave him a loaf of banana cranberry bread I made, but he couldn't eat it because he's vegan. So me and his friends ate it all.That first night the 3 of us went out to a resaurant called Stone Soup. I had a Seitan Reuben. After dinner Michelle and i walked up Church st, took a right and went to a cafe called Radio Bean. We sat outside for a while and listneed to the music that was inside.
Ross is very much into the bike scene. He and his friends started a group which fixes up bikes and lets anyone borrow them for free. We rode along the path that went alongside Lake Champlain. The water, the mountains, the sky!!!! On our way back we sat on a bench and watched the sun set.
At Ross's place we had our own room down in the basement. The old grandfather cat had the rest of the basement.
One morning we went to breakfast at Magnolia. They claim to be the first "green" resaurant in Burlington. Theire food was awesome and the atmosphere was great. After breakfast we went to the college to a free market that Ross and his friends were part of. There were people offering to repair bikes, give away stuff, do workshops, give food, and more, all for free. The night before we went to a potluck we heard about. We walked in the door with a loaf of bread, hummus, and pickles. I felt really shy because everyone knew eachother and I knew only Michelle.There was about 15 of them. We talked with a really nice guy, Yens. I think thats a German name.
When we left Burlington toward Stannard Vermont we took route 15. It was a little slower than going the highway but I'm sure it was much more scenic. We enjoyed the ride.
