Shelburne, Vermont July 31

Getting through customs on the return to the U.S turned out to be a non-event! We arrived at Shelburne, Vermont just south of Burlington on Thursday afternoon, and had a great private pull-through camp site.

It rained most of the day Friday and we had tequila sunrises that night with Janet and Ron. Big mistake! Carol was sick all night. Saturday was beautiful, so in the afternoon we took a short scooter ride around the area instead of the ambitious ride we had planned.

Shelburne is a suburb of Burlington, VT but is known in its own right for an outstanding museum and visitor's farm. Janet spent quite a bit of time with the spectacular quilt collection at the museum. Bruce and Carol took Maya swimming in the swift river that ran through the back of the campground, and quickly tired her out!

The 2nd time we rode in to Burlington, Carol still wasn't feeling up to taking the ferry across Lake Champlain and making a day of riding, so we simply walked through the street fair that was taking place. Ben and Jerry's seemed like it would be a very "therapeutic" stop - you know, easy on the stomach - but alas, one can only wait in line so long! The place was packed! We opted for a little place down the street!

On the walk, we came across a "one-man-band" - amazing!

This was a short stay, and we'll have to save our ferry trip for the next stop - Lake George!
