The East Coast of the United States

Then I got up the next morning to catch a bus at about 8am and then I had a 2 hour delay before flying back to the US. I won’t go into my US airport travel horror stories, but let’s say I have never hated flying so much as I hate flying in the United States! Upon arrival in Boston, my friend Derrick picked me up from the airport. We spent the next 13 days doing really cool things on the East Coast. For instance we drove to Vermont to see the Ben and Jerry’s Factory, then Magic Hat Brewery, followed by a walk through Burlington during the jazz festival (I got a free hug from some strangers there are photos!) then we camped on the shores of Lake Champlain. The following day we drove to New Hampshire to Mt. Washington the highest point in the New England part of the Appalachian mountains. One thing that I read while I was there was that the Appalachian mountains are much older then the Himalayan mountains, because they no longer grow in size but the Himalayan mountains grow like 1 inch every 100 years or something. I guess those tectonic plates are done moving! We also took a 5 day road trip to Maine where we camped for a few days in a remote campsite which meant getting in the canoe and paddling there, I mean Derrick paddling and me pretending to paddle! We also did some things around the Rhode Island area like eat Del’s and go to Water Fire and go to Foreign Independent film in theater. Sorry for not being very descriptive about New England, I have no copious notes to look at about our travels around the area. Maybe Derrick will email some of his words and then we can know what he thought about the trips, I know there were lots of inside jokes at the end of those holidays!
