My First Day in Vermont
















OK...So I am here in Burlington Vermont and it is 29 degrees cold, but beautiful! My weather forecast was way off and I am contemplating my wardrobe of choice. Got here a day before classes start to get the lay of the land and check out the scene. Decided to wander downtown, roughly 1.5 miles from The Sheraton ( my home for the week), and found a great hidden gem for lunch, The Magnolia Cafe. Had a delicious tuna sandwich with a side of kale...and of course a mimosa! After lunch I wandered a bit and stumbled across a great local grocery co-op called Downtown Market . Decided to buy a few snacks for the week and $65 later walked the distance home with 2 full bags, uphill by the way! Not barefoot or in the snow so I am feeling pretty grateful right now! Got some awesome apples and a new organic cheese to try ( Champlain Triple Cream from Vergennes, VT), among other delicious snacks.
