We arrived at Colchester, VT yesterday afternoon after a really calm and beautiful cruise. This afternoon we took a cab into Burlington to walk around and have an early dinner. The main drag in Burlington is Church St., where they had many stores (Macy's, Eddie Bauer, Mac, etc.) along the street, which is closed to traffic. They had the requisite musicians playing for tips. We encountered many cows along the street (some pictured above). The cows are provided by Citizens Bank, decorated by local artists, and displayed to encourage tourism as well as provide a walking art tour. In October the cows will be auctioned off to benefit The Vermont Campaign to End Childhood Hunger. which has several programs involving improving school meals, providing out-of-school-time meals for low-income children, teaching nutrition to the parents, etc.

There is a part of town that seems to have seen better days (I guess that's everywhere). We ate at a place on the waterfront that had been recommended by someone we met at the Lighthouse Point Marina. So-so.
We'll be moving on tomorrow.
