Montpelier calls itself the smallest capital in the nation. I didn't do any research on it, but it is quite small. The capitol building is very impressive with its gold dome.
I love seeing these old buildings still standing and well-maintained
Cary went to check out the fire house...he was hoping they had a pole, but they didn't!
It was too soon for lunch so we went driving. As luck would have it, we found a tractor show at the Morse sugarhouse.
I love this one with the pickuptruck cab.

This is the sugar house. Part of it sells all kinds of Vermont souvenirs; the sugaring room is behind it. A video is ready to show the whole process. You can understand why pure maple syrup is so expensive!
A great photo op
Finally it is lunch time, but that meant standing room only at all
On our way to Barre we had to stop at the yard sale. No luck. Or maybe it is lucky that there was nothing there we needed...or wanted.
In Barre we saw the Rock of Ages museum and gift shop--didn't take photos, but along this hillside you can see all the granite.
This pond was at one time a quarry. We only got turned around a few times heading back to our camp. Unlike yesterday, it was a little too chilly to eat out on the picnic table, so supper was inside. Tomorrow we are looking forward to seeing Stowe and surrounding attractions.

the eateries! We lucked out at this funky place serving crepes. I got something called the monster vegan with spinach, seitan, mushrooms, carmelized onions...yum! Cary got his with ham and eggs and cheese.
