Fw: Lake Champlain 4

Sunday, 7-12-09

Another day in Vergennes, Vt. It appears our time travels are over, and we're back to today.

Last night, we we were pleasantly surprised when they turned on the lights illuminating the water falls. The photo is not good, but you get the idea. The colors changed like the color wheel for an aluminum Christmas tree my parents had.

We had a little rain last night, but it didn't seem to dampen anyone's spirits. As a matter of fact, I think the spirits were flowing freely on some boats.

Today, Cruise Director Tammi arranged transportation for all of us to get to the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. She and Craig had to track down the only taxi in town, and explain how half of us had to picked up on one side of the creek, and the rest across the creek.

It took two trips to the museum, but we made it. A great museum with a lot of American history you might not have studied in school. There were several Revolutionary War battles on Lake Champlain, and the hero of them was none other than Benedict Arnold. (Before that other thing you might have heard about him.)

We were able to have lunch with some of the group at a nice spot across the street from the museum.
