So here I am, writing our final entry.It's been emotional. It was time to leave the US of A and head back to Frank's home country (no, not Korea but Canada).Our departure started with a ferry ride from the Vermont side of Lake Champlain over to upstate New York.Which is nothing like the populated parts of the State around NYC.The Adirondacks Mountains are beautiful - so wild with only the Winter Olympics site of Lake Placid marking the otherwise undeveloped land...

Up into New Hampshire and a scenic drive along the Kancamagus Highway in the White Mountains.So nice to get away from cities, interstates and people again and back into the mountains and greenery.The one city we did visit up that way was Montpelier in Vermont, the smallest State capital in the country.Very sweet.About as sweet as a tub of Ben & Jerry's…Yes, we went to the factory of Vermont's finest ice cream to see kids feasting on Cookie Dough, Fish Food ...

From DC to NYC - we parked Frank up in Harlem to hang out with other old bangers and made our way to cousin Penny's fabulous 35th floor apartment on the Upper East Side (Frank really would have felt out of place amongst the BMWs and Lincolns there).Thank you so much again Penny for such a treat!Luckily we made it inside in time before a massive storm and tornado decided to rip its way through Manhattan!The local news was telling us all to seek cover in the baseme...
