Stats for the day: No changes from 22 June 2012
Last evening was spent in great company with our friends Dan and Andrea and their daughter Sarah. We went into Rutland for dinner and the Friday Night Live street party. We had great calzones at Ramunto's Sicilian Pizza, then wandered through the street fair. As we were leaving, Nola got a shot of the moon rising over VT.
Today has been a laid back, take it easy kind of day. With the bike cleaned up from all of the road and trail grit of days earlier, we took a wonderful "nickle tour" of Proctor, VT, the marble capital of the U.S. Much of the marble used throughout the country for monuments and structures came from here. As a result, you might expect many of the buildings in town to be of marble, and you would be correct. Here we get to see our marvelous friends, Dan & Andrea, and some pretty decent stonework used to make the Union Church of Proctor where they worship. The afternoon was spent reviewing directions and maps for tomorrows adventure, and trying to decide which route to take which changes the place to stay. You will have to check back in again to see what we decided. Rick got his "cooking fix" in by making pizzas for everyone.
A huge thank you to Dan, Andrea, and Sarah for their hospitality and friendship! In the adapted words of General Douglas MacArthur, "We shall return." We also hope to reciprocate and offer them our hospitality the next time they're in Maine.
