Steve and Cathy: WorldTour Part I -- AMERICA: 10/2-10/9 North Beach, Burlington, VT

This is a very cool city campground on the lake. We came to see Steve's "Big Ride" friend Bob and his wife Gail, and we also met some great neighbors, the Kolbs, who also have a Can-Am bike.

We had dinner with Bob and Gail, both at the Waterworks restaurant, but at their beautiful farmhouse!! It was great to catch up, and get the "insiders view" of what to see.

beautiful colors

We took their advice, and toured Shelbourne Farms, which was partly built with Vanderbilt money, so it was big! We had such a good time on the tour, that we came back the next day for a more in-depth look-see.

We took a side ride to Ben and Jerrys to see how ice cream is made and we got samples!!!!

We also toured Scenic Highway 108, and we saw some pretty colors and architecture!

We stopped at a falls during one of our travels. We also took in the Shelbourne Museum, which is a collection of many buildings with different collections, started by one of the Vanderbilt cousins.
