Burlington, VT: I miss Wavy Gravy

Lake Champlain looking toward NY



Church Street, Burlington, VT

 We are enjoying Burlington, Vermont. Our camper is parked just North of downtown so we can ride our bikes to the parks, restaurants, bars(I wish) and shops. Church Street is a nice area to walk around since it is blocked off from driving. Many choices to eat and shop. Probably more of a tourist trap but I was able to get a little retail therapy in and some chinese dumplings form a street vendor. Took a long bike ride around the town and passed thru Ethan Allen's homestead and the Univ. of Vermont's campus. Monster hills to bike but all worth it.






Today it was off to see my old friends Ben and Jerry in Waterbury, VT. Took the tour which was perfect since it lasts less than 30 mintues and you end of with a free sample at the end. The sample was Late Night Snack. It has some caramel and chocolate covered potato chips in it. Fabulous! I did ask why Wavy Gravy was put to rest and was told it was too expensive to make with the Brazil nuts, cashews and caramel. Glad to know it wasn't because it didn't taste good because it was my favorite. It even had a tye-dye colored container. Went to the flavor graveyard to pay my respects and Wavy Gravy was not even there. I wonder how the actual man feels about his flavor going to the graveyard?   The Nerve!
