After visiting the Joseph Smith Memorial in Sharon, we traveled South to Woodstock, a beautiful old historic city, voted the most beautiful city in the United States (presumably by someone other than the people of Woodstock). However, it was very old and quaint -- everywhere you go in Vermont, you see these lovely little cities, many with covered bridges. Hurricane Irene did some real damage in Vermont, destroying a number of these old covered bridges (which you can see above) and inundating the towns with flood waters. Most of the aftermath of the storm has been cleaned up, but a number of bridges are badly damaged.
We loved this bridge in Woodstock -- took this late in the day after the sun had set. Above is the backend of the bridge, with Mom (below) sitting at the bridge's entrance.
One of the many beautiful churches that we saw today -- apparently, Vermont is now a pretty liberal, agnostic state, but surely 200 years ago, it must have been quite the religious community - there is a church on nearly every corner.

I wonder what they use all of those old churches for if nobody goes to church in them anymore. I guess people would have fun dressing them up for botique shops and such.
