We’ve arrived! …

After 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.
