Burlington Bikeway



We had a great day! Rode the bike trail for 8 miles along Lake Champlain and then had lunch outside at the Church Street Market - a pedestrian mall in the center of town. The trail provides gorgeous views of the lake with the Adriondack Mountains in the background. Burlington is a charming city of about 40,000 - home of the University of Vermont. It is actually the largest city in Vermont - the whole state has less population than San Antonio! There are large Victorian homes everywhere - some beautifully restored and many less fortunate ones are now fraternity/sorority houses or split up into college student apartments. The sky was blue, the sun was out and the temperature was in the 70's - a perfect day for touring on the bikes. We came home ate a healthy dinner of fish & grilled vegetables and then went for Ben & Jerrys!
