Bring on the Burlington!

Date: March 9, 2013

Day: 14

Countdown: 27

Suggestion: Go somewhere you’ve never been before

Sure I’ve been on safari in multiple countries in Africa, seen glaciers in Alaska, and visited hot springs in remote places on Hokkaido. But have I ever been to Burlington, Vermont? Never. Not until this past weekend.

Burlington is so close with so much to offer. 

                                 There are multiple breweries… 

               Lake Champlain…

                                                       ...and a very lovely walkable downtown area.

Plus, the people are genuinely nice!

Of course, every great city has at least one record shop, and Burlington did not disappoint. Better yet, there was a record shop with a ‘$1 records’ bin with this:

For so many reasons –– a newly-discovered and so-delicious-I-nearly-cried beer (‘Forbidden Fruit’ at the Burlington Brewery); a lovely run along the waterfront on Sunday morning; and a creperie with a menu that made it nearly impossible for me to choose one crepe –– Burlington is my new favorite nearby place.
