On our first day in Vermont we met Becca for lunch at her job so that we could meet some of the people she works with. When your work day begins at 3:30am, lunch is earlier than noon. We met them at 9:00am, brunch for us.
It was a feast with artisan pizza (many flavors), brioche (Tim's favorite?), hazelnut bread, Napoleons, and fresh peach pie. But better than the food was getting to meet the people Becca works with.
Becca still had a few more hours to work so we got advice from her coworkers about nearby nature trails and set off.

After Becca got done at work, we picked her up and went to her apartment. She is a farm girl and manages to use every available bit of dirt for growing food and beauty. I didn't photograph the food, except for the nasturtiums.

Inside we met Joseph and Mosley and hung out for a while.

We grabbed some hot dogs, buns, and fixings, as well as swimsuits and towels and headed to the Connecticut River, Becca's favorite spot for a swim. It's beautiful, and the water is so much more clear than any spot in Kansas.

| What a beautiful place to picnic and swim. |
We had stopped at the store to buy charcoal but couldn't find any small bags, so we settled for a bag of kindling wood. Here is our roaring fire, started with the last people's leftover hot coals from their picnic.

We lingered for a while at the park after supper, and then went home, tired after a long day.
