In South Woodstock, Vermont

So not only did the last motel not have internet (which I had hoped was becoming a standard), it also didn't have breakfast of any sort (except for coffee), which I had thought was a standard. Fortunately we planned ahead and brought some cereal and milk. Unfortunately, we didn't plan far enough ahead and forget to get some bowls and spoons. It was one of those mornings.

Yesterday, we did a bit of hiking in a some state park (probably Calvin Coolidge State Park) and that was pretty fun. Except for some weird Fungi (Is there such a thing as normal Fungi?) we didn't see a whole lot, but I still enjoyed it. There was also a neat Farmer's Market in Woodstock with tons of very delicious looking food.

It's hard to remember most of what we've been doing the past couple of days as it has mainly consisted of driving around to places with things to do. I had originally intended to go hiking around a place called Texas Falls today, but the road to the falls was closed, meaning we had driven a whole 45 minutes for nothing. We ended getting a bit of hiking at another state park, but some of the fun was taken out of it. I have discovered that driving around in the morning kind of irks me for some reason. Probably because once I'm awake, I have a decent amount of energy and I want to use that energy doing things that aren't just sitting.

In other news, I got a haircut today, which is nice. I'm not too sure when I'll be able to get another one, so I got it cut to the length known as "the length of hair that always prompts my friends to complain about how short my hair is now." Actually, that happens pretty much everytime I take any more than 1/4 of an inch off the top, but whatever. The point is, I got a haircut and I'm rather happy about it.

We also went to a farm today, where they make Maple Syrup and Cheese (which is incredibly delicious). That was quite fun and kind of made me want to work on a farm. Something I'll probably look into one of these summers. I tried some four year old cheddar and have to say it was probably some of the best cheese ever. If, for some reason, anyone out there feels compelled to get my cheese for some special occasion, aged chedder would be a good choice. Also Wensleydale, but only because I've always wanted to try some.

We're currently staying at a bed and breakfast in South Woodstock, Vermont (I'll bet you had forgot about that bit by now). They have good internet and breakfast, which is a huge step up from the place we were yesterday. I'm currently posting this from up in my little loft bed about six feet above the floor. Of course, due to the 'heights are really scary' effect, it looks more 15, but I'm not one to let the idea of falling at least six feet to the floor and potentially breaking a few of my favorite bones (like the ones in my neck) deter me.

Tomorrow is the last full day of being with my mom here in Vermont. After that, I go camping for nine days and probably won't have any contact with anyone here on the internet. Of course, I haven't really had any contact with anyone anyways, but that's beside the point. Until Friday, there is at least potential for contact; after that I'm on my own. Except for the nine other people on the trip of course. I think we will unfortunately have to do some shopping tomorrow, because I just checked the list of stuff I need for the trip and I don't even have half of it. The real tragedy is that some of it I did have at home, I just didn't bring on the trip with me because I didn't think I would need it until school actually started. Totally forgot to take into account the fact that caves are cold, and sometimes wet. Oh well, I can usually make do without everything on the list, but there are a few things I think I will need to buy tomorrow.

That's all I got for now. I'll try to post one more time before I leave, but no guarantees. See you around.
