Day 2 Monday Nov 26 Toronto, Canada to Burlington, Vermont

Well Day 2
Here is what I have discovered

Canadians love Home Depot...in fact the Home Depots there look to be twice the size of out Home Depots. Its rather scary.

Tim Hortons...wow...need I say more...I thought Starbuck was bad...there is a Tim Hortons in every Home Depot for crying out loud...they squeeze a Tim Hortons where ever they can.
Canadian love Home Depot and Tim Hortons

The GreenbeltThe Greenbelt in Canada protect from urban spral and has left the coutry side of Canada just beautiful....We were traveling on a very gloomy day once again but wow...I really appreciate what they are doing here. I never realized there was so much farm land in Canada.

Also once again I would like to mention NO billboards...love it.

I also love that the rest stops there are actually gas stations...love it.

The first thing we saw when we drove into Northern New York was a sign that said THIS IS MOWHAWK COUNTRY NOT NEW YORK!!! Northern New York really was not like I had imagined it. There were lots of trailers and shoty towns. There was a lot of history coming out though.

At this point the further east we go the older things are getting and i am loving it...right down to the creepy old century old cemetaries and houses. Wow. This is also the introduction of everything being "cute" to me...some of the things we are seeing are just so darned quaint I can't believe it!!!

Lake Champlain is gorgeous and what an amazing sight with all the history...I was just struck by it all. I even looked for some images on the internet of what I saw but nothing really represented what I saw with my eye. No picture I saw really did any justice. There were so many old buildings including a very large old abandoned building on the edge of the lake...it look like and old hotel...very creepy. Totally something out of a movie.

By the time we made it into Vermont it was dark. We stay in Burlington and went to the Vermont Brewing Company for dinner. I had a great dinner and an even better raseberry brew that I really loved. It wasn't overly sweet and tasted like real beer. Some fruity beers can be to sweet. This one was award winning.

The Unversity of Vermont is here and I can wait to see it in the morning. It looks very old but it is dark and raining right now so we will see.
