       THE "OTHER COUNTRY!"

   Day two of our Travelworld Leaf Peepers

tour found us in Old Bennington, VT. at the

local museum. There's a fantastic collection

of area history there including a "Wasp" the

only automobile ever manufactured in VT!

It was hear we learned that for some 14 years,

before finally being admitted to the United

States, Vermont was, in essance, its own

country! It only became a state when West

Virgina was being considered for admission

to the Union as a "Slave state!" To strike a

balance, Vermont was admitted first as a

"Free state."

 Our travels also took us to NH where we

boarded the "Turkey Train" on the 

Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad. Here

he sat and rode in a comfortable 1920's

era dinning car and were served a full course

turkey dinner as we enjoyed views of the

lake and colorful leaves!

Hope you're enjoying the tour via my
