After leaving Shelburne Farms, we took a very scenic drive down to Middlebury and visited:
- Otter Creek Brewing: good but not great, the brown ale had severe diacytle issues and made me gag.
- Vermont Soap Factory: cool little joint, we walked in and Chris said very quietly, "My nostrils are burning." Bought some soaps.
- Danforth Pewter Factory and Store: HIGHLIGHT!! They make absolutely gorgeous pewter dishes, serve ware, jewelry - all in the traditional way. Totally scored a great necklace. Loved it. (Side note: tragedy struck as Chris dropped his new sunglasses and -CRACK- the lens broke. Thank God for the Sunglasses Hut - all better with a new pair!)
- Drove through a covered bridge. Not as cool as the other one.
- Bobcat Cafe and Pub: had a sampler, very good beer, bartender was about six and a half feet tall and, I swear to God, his arms hung down to his knees. He also had a big, deep, booming voice. The whole thing freaked me out and we didn't stay long.
We are now relaxing a bit and figuring out where to eat dinner. Tomorrow? Waterbury - breweries, Ben & Jerry's, and shopping and eating. What else??
