1st stop Niagara Falls – making it official that we have now been to the top 3 water falls in the world Niagara, Iguazu & Victoria together. Then it was on to lovely Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada via the picturesque Niagara River Parkway where stately country homes & vineyards vie for your attention.
- Our 2nd stop was 3 delightful days with Don & Steve, cruise mates from our 2013 South America trip, in Boston & the Berkshires.
Then we headed north to Woodstock, Vermont & on to North Conway, New Hampshire, via the Kancamagus Highway in search of fall color & covered bridges.
- Our last stop was Rockport, MA before we returned to Boston for our cruise.

In Search of Fall Foliage…
The trees are just starting to explode…
…with a full spectrum of colors…
…lush fern green…
…bright banana yellow…
…sunburst orange…
…burnt sienna…
…scarlet & crimson reds.
…And then…
…like a snake sheds its skin…
…the limbs drop their leaves…
..creating a flurry…
…of giant golden snowflakes.

- In search of Covered Bridges…
…Vermont wins with the highest density of bridges…
… a whopping total of 106!
…New Hampshire has 54.
- And this is our “Room With a View” in Woodstock, VT…
FUN-fact: At the height of the covered-bridge craze, there were more than 10,000 of these graceful, functional structures in the US. Now sadly…only about 750 remain in the US.
