Ferry to Burlington, VT

Yesterday we took the 10:00 Ferry to Burlington from Port Kent, NY. This was Angels first ferry ride. It was a very windy day (25-30 knots) so Lake Champlain was rather rough. As we headed into the wind plus our forward speed it put a lot of water into the air. Every thing exposed was drenched. It was good to be in the car for the ride. We had the comfort and the warmth. Angel enjoyed it, but then again as long as we are with her she is happy.

It took an hour to make the crossing to Burlington. We walked along the waters edge on a really nice bike/walking path. Andrea packed a lunch so we sat on a park bench and ate. After walking around the docks we decided to walk into town to check it out. The town has a really nice area set up with all sorts of restaurants and shops that are on two sides of "pedestrian traffic only". That way you only have to watch out for other walkers doing what we were doing, window shopping. Andrea stopped in a Borders and bought some books, and I stopped in a Ben and Jerry's to buy a small cup of Cherry Garcia ice cream. Lots of other dogs that is not such a thrill for Angel. She thinks that only humans should be tolerated. She is definitely "anti social" when it comes to other dogs.

Later today we leave for Whiteface Mountain and Lake Placid. We will be there for two nights before heading a little south to Lake George. Today is rainy so it is a good day to leave the area and see new scenery. We knew it was going to be raining this morning so I put everything away last night. Glad I did. That's it for now.

Miles of Smiles. Happy trails.
