It seems like we flew through New Hampshire and Vermont but we'll be getting to know New York for the next week and a half or so..
Our friend Cyril joined us going UP UP UP the Middlebury Gap, after which we had a wonderful two rest days in Burlington with some familiar faces.
Lily and I got to go to Meeting in Burlington on Sunday which was so nice, plus we met a new friend named James who biked with us the next day from Middlebury! We took a ferry to Ticonderoga, NY.
While trying to find a campground near Paradox Lake (it's real) we stopped by a gorgeous old house/B&B to ask, and ended up going in to get a tour of the amazing building which was bursting with history, and met some incredible people with whom we ended up having some crazy connections. Just ask any of us about Paradox House sometime. WOW. So many thanks to Analise and Merritt.
We've heard from a couple others who've done similar trips that New England was the hardest section-- AND I BELIEVE IT. Talk about hills. My body is definitely still figuring out what's going on.
