Coffee, Ice Cream, Chocolate, Rain, Rocks, Beer, Cheese

Last night was thunder storms and lightening and heavy rain. Showers continuing today so it's a good day to be a tourist. First stop Green Mountain Coffee. No tour just a small visitor center and cafe.

Drink: Medium Iced Vermont Maple Chi tea. It was like drinking a gingerbread cookie with icing.

Lunch: Carrot Cake. ( had three food groups dairy-grain-vegetable)

Ben and Jerry's Factory Tour
Free tasting: special trial flavor "Hawaiian Cool" vanilla and pineapple.

Lake Champlain Chocolate

Rain. Rain. Rain.

Rock Art Brewery
Beer tasting at small brewery. Yum
(what else is there to do when it's raining and the hills are clouded in)

Vermont made Gouda cheese. Yum.
