Vermont - Continuation of Beauty, now onto to Canada

Sad to have left Lake Placid, I think that was my favorite place so far!   Coming into Vermont, I traveled by ferry across Lake Champlain, and driving up to Stowe, it was the same beauty!   LOTS of trees.    

Stowe was a bit difficult to get around on Saturday, there were protestors everywhere, including in the street.   The traffic was barely moving, but when I got through, I found the covered bridge I was looking for.   Had some lunch by a river, which was really nice.  The air is so clean!   It was a sunny beautiful day!

On Sunday went on a lake cruise of Lake Champlain, which was really nice, since we don't have anything like that in Colorado with little water.

 

Went through Essex and Essex Junction, not much to see there.

Monday morning left for Ottawa, and OH MY, should have looked to see where my GPS was sending me.  DID NOT want to drive through Montreal!   It took almost an hour to go 2 miles!  NEVER want to drive through Montreal again!  Note made!

Got to my Airbnb in Ottawa and what a great place.  Small, but newly remodeled and efficient.

Hello Joan - I am correctly remembering that you made a trip to Quebec City a few years ago (maybe longer).   Anyway, any journey, road trip or otherwise, can teach us more than a few lessons.  Happy traveling.  🚗

I loved everything about Canada traveling except for the border guards.  They need some personality improvements.  Enjoy!!

Hi Joan- amazing views!  Your are such a good traveler!  And it looks like you thoroughly reserach where you're going and what you want to see. Do you have Sirius radio??   If you do, on channel 73 from 6 am to 11 am, Phlash Phelps  is the radio personality. He drives everywhere and knows all the roads.

Nina Hollander, Broker I agree Montreal the Vancouver are nice, and I love Quebec City and Prince Edward Island too.

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty I have flown directly to Montreal and stayed for a few days, so I didn't not plan to visit, just pass through this time.   It IS a lovely city, except for the traffic!

Michael Jacobs you have a great memory!   I did go to Quebec City, and LOVED it.   Also did a trip a few years before QC to Montreal, and loved it, just didn't drive that time.  Much better.

Gwen Fowler SC Lakes & Mountains 864-710-4518 you are SO right, they don't have any personality.   That must be one of their requirements to being hired!

Kathy Streib I do not have SIRUS radio, I have spotify and music I have downloaded onto my phone.  Plus, Will calls me a few times a day to break up the monotony.
