Hi,
Another early morning in Friday, just to find out that lake park is closed for the season. Apparently a small piece of land with no facilities on it is closed off season. So we changed direction and drove to Jamaica state park only to find out exactly the same closed gate, this time we (and another few families) just walked inside and found a nice spot to photograph some reflections.
And it turned out to be another clear blue sky kind of day.
After a "in-the-car" breakfast, we headed to the recommended quiet village of Newfane, which was true to the recommendations. Walking around the classic Vermont village landscape. This village is populated with an exaggerated amount of "antique" stores that all have very old Chinese dinner ware.
Shabbat was a few ours away, and on our way back to Manchester we had time to stop at the Ball Mountain Lake Dam state park, build be the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and that's open the same time as their work day (9-5).
For Shabbat we stayed at the Casablanca Motel in Manchester, where we stayed at the Battenkill river themed room, which had a wall tappet full of dead fish and many pictures of jolly fisherman.
Coincidentally, two streets next to our motel I found the "Israel Congregation of Manchester". Turns out it's there from the 80', with more than 200 members (in season). They were nice and hospitable.
After Shabbat we toured around Manchester Hall for some night shots (Churches are still the most photogenic) and tomorrow we are on our way to Woodstock.
Have a good week everyone.
