An Afternoon in Burlington

Walking toward the waterfront...

After visiting the cemetery Saturday morning, we headed to Burlington. Our plan was to visit the waterfront... walk around a bit... shoot some photos... then head up to Church Street for some lunch and a few drinks... then maybe shoot some additional photos down at the waterfront and in downtown Burlington. 

We had lunch at Ri Ra's, as usual. We each had a Kilcooley sandwich... some chips... and some roasted brussel sprouts. Needless to say, this meal was delicious, as always. 

Unfortunately, while we were in Ri Ra's the weather had changed drastically! Very dark, ominous clouds rolled in producing heavy rain, lightning and thunder. There was a brief reprieve in the rain so we made our way for outdoors again. More dark clouds and rain were approaching from the Adirondack Mountains across the lake so we headed into Macy's for shelter...  just in time! Then the skies opened up again.

Macy's turned out to be a great place to seek shelter. Sheila found and bought about five or six blouses while we were waiting out the rain... all for under $30! We then headed to LL Bean until the rain let up and we were able to make our way the couple of blocks to the car. 

All-in-all, it turned out to be a very nice and productive Saturday.
