Day 5

This is in Vermont, although I'm not entirely sure where. It was so confusing getting to my dad's friend's house that I totally forgot the name of his town :P
This is the mountain that's behind the friend's house (like right behind). We hiked up it, and I had a lot of fun, although my little sister cried the entire time.

The thing that amazed me about America was just how much more...space, there is. We were going through millions of little towns, and between them there is just so much land. There are also a lot of abandoned buildings, something that I really haven't seen much of in Canada. Things really do seem a lot different there, and I find that interesting. Maybe its just Vermont that's different? But one would think that since you can drive there straight out of Ontario, it wouldn't change much. But it does.
Need to get a passport before I can go back there again, but I think looking at more US "small towns" would be fun.

Funny, i had the same space epiphany when i first visited Vermont 4 years ago. I assumed after 300 years of colonization i'd find every acre of land in New England more or less urbanized. Such is not the case.
