Tuesday - scenic drive and to Shrewsbury

Paper Mill Bridge

A different breakfast, French toast with drambuie, cream and sausage, as well as the muffins,scones and fruit.
Then off on a circuitous route to our next Inn which is only 40 miles north. We went to The Covered Bridge Museum in Old Bennington. That was fascinating, especially some of the early photos of the bridges, as they were often the lifeline of settlements. We found and drove over three bridges. Robert Frost's stone house was next on the agenda, which considering his stature as one of, if not the leading US poet was all quietly understated.
Onward and up Mount Equinox, via the skyline drive. Unfortunately the top was shrouded in cloud, but we did get some great views lower down.
Just before Shrewsbury we stopped on the Vermount County Store. An old fashioned style store that sells virtually everything, including many things one might have thought weren't even made any more. Everything from snowshoes to cheese, old fashioned sweets to pottery and so on. Great to wander round, especially as they had lots of local produce put to taste. Feeling replete we set off up the mountain to Crisanver House. Worth looking at the website. www.crisanver.com
Unusually we sat down to dinner with 3 other Inntravel couples. A good meal finished off with home made Limoncello.
