Playing Hookey




Saturday we played hookey (no not hockey). We took another volksmarch around Burlington. Another Rver joined us. Lots of people were out enjoying the first really warm day of the summer. The walk took us along Lake Champlain which was dotted with sailboats, across the Univ. of Vermont campus, past more of those charming old houses (one of which was John Dewey’s), and through a great farmer’s market. We rewarded our walking efforts with a luscious lunch at Leung’s Bistro.


One of the special treats we enjoyed was a demonstration by the Colchester Canine Unit. A sweet looking dog found catching bad guys a lot of fun. The demo was quite impressive.


At the evening entertainment we won the award for traveling the greatest distance to the rally. We escaped the entertainment when we found John and Louise Bolton, friends from our caravan in the Maritimes. It was fun to catch up with each other.

We enjoyed our time in Essex Junction, primarily the new friends we made and look forward to seeing them along the road.
