We’ve arrived! …
Posted by Sarah - 03/09/05 at 08:09:51 amAfter months of careful planning, packing, selling the house, more packing, long-distance apartment hunting, and finally moving, we’re here: Montpelier, VT. It feels like a dream, and also feels right and comforting and exciting. Here from the front are some first impressions of our new home.
- The people (even tourists!) are friendly and polite, and not in a constant state of “hurry up!”.
- The weather (even the rain) is beautiful.
- Montpelier has not strayed too far from its French influence; we catch glimpses of the language and culture everywhere.
- The Green Mountains are georgeous and approchable, not dominating like the Rockies.
- Capitol Grounds makes awesome organic, fair-trade coffee and offers free wi-fi.
- The architecture is beautiful and varied, and the houses are huge.
- Vermonters take pride in and know much of their state history.
