The duo finally have departed the Maritimes...a month and a half of unbelievable beauty and outstanding travel experiences. They love Canada and thanks to Alan's love of history, they saw so many great places. He has been an excellent tour guide!
On one of our last nights in PEI they were walking on a beach and ran into a couple digging clams. They were so kind as to give them some and they promptly brought them back to me and steamed them up for dinner!

We went back across the bridge from Prince Edward Island and into New Brunswick and spent our last night in our favorite small but cosmopolitan town of Fredricton. On the way we stopped at
Fort Beausejour.
Alan and Oliver at the Fort...
Our favorite park in Frederickton where all the happenings go on... such a lovely city on the St John River waterway with lots of walking trails and of course farmers markets!
After a quick drive through Maine and New Hampshire, we arrived in Vermont. Robin's friend Megan kindly gave them access to her family home in Greensboro, Vermont...a really special home sitting high above a green valley with an amazing view. The house is so special and I'm not sure they will ever move back into me (Oliver) again! They've had the house to themselves and will probably stay for 10 days or so. It has amazing energy, a super kitchen and so quiet and rural and secluded as to make for the perfect hideout for August in Vermont. The quickly took me off my super steed Oscar the truck and parked me in the drive...I hope they don't forget I'm here.

We have had such a great time already since being in Greensboro. We attended a wonderful live theater on the green performance of Cole Porter's musical "Kiss Me Kate"...so fun!
We also went to Newport to the Newport Jazz Festival...a really nice day of music at various venues. Newport is on Lake Memphremagog (ha try saying that) which is about 1/3 in the USA and 2/3's in Canada on the far northern border of Vermont and Canada. The festival was mostly on the wharf of their harbor.
Lots of walking, blueberry picking and farmers markets to fill the days...
We have been unbelievably spoiled and loving it. Been traveling each day to different areas in Vermont and enjoying immensely!
