While this is not the best example I could have presented the churches, particularly rural churches, of New England were very beautiful. The freedom of religion is alive and well in America and hopefully always will be. De Tocqueville commented that America is great because America is good and he cited the churches of America as an important part of America's greatness and goodness. Let's hope America is always good.
One of the covered bridges on our route. This picture was taken sort of over the shoulder from the car thus the reflection.
Another covered bridge.
Near the top of Bread Loaf pass in Vermont was the Mountain Campus. This is part of Middlebury College and was founded by the great American poet Robert Frost... two paths diverged in the woods... The Frost homestead is nearby. One of the locals told us that as the story goes Mr. Frost was inebriated one night and fell down in a nearby filed and commented "that looks like a bread loaf." One of those stories that even if it isn't true is a good one.
