So we’re a little behind in our blog entries, what’s new? Our trusty readership has certainly noticed that it’s been over a week since our last post, so we’ll try to make up the time as well as we can. Let’s see, where were we? That’s right – we’d just skated by the authorities and crossed the border into Vermont. We headed towards Burlington, where we were meeting up with a couple of Liz’s old work pals, Kevin and Tim. We were pumped to try what Kevin had described in his txt as “the best pizza ever” and unwind from our hasty whirlwind trip through Canada.

We arrived at Kevin’s place outside of Burlington, where we were greeted with Vermont cheddah and crackers that were topped nicely with Grandma Jane’s chutney. After a little catching up and gazing at Lake Champlain, we piled into the truck and picked up Tim for some good old fashioned gallivanting in town. We got the classic auto tour of the city and Kevin walked us through Intervale Community Farm with 14 acres of organic beds and compost before meandering through downtown and eventually making it to American Flatbread and its famous pizzas from the woodburning oven. We reminisced about our past as misfits in Atlanta (Kev – please send us that pic if you have it, couldn’t find it anywhere) and had a generally merry time.

The next morning we caught an awesome breakfast in town at Penny Cluse Cafe to fuel up for our drive to Newport, RI. We were there to visit family and to spend a good amount of time catching up on all the cable shows we’d missed on the road. After 3 days planted on the couch with the dogs and a couple of home-cooked macrobiotic meals, we were refreshed and ready to hit the road again, this time to New Jersey. Not much sightseeing, but we were about to make up for that in droves….
