We are taking a break in New York City at our friend Alicia's place.   Unfortunately, we are unable to download more pictures on her computer.   We will try at the next possible place.   To up date everyone...   It rained almost everyday in Vermont.   We stayed at the 12 tribes hostel and they tried to convert us but our will was greater than theirs, and they had good food.  Mass. had rolling hills and a couple free hostels. Conn. was ridiculously expensive but the hiking was easy.   New York has been the same so far.   We passed most of the North bounders so the trail is quiet again.   We are looking forward to getting below the Mason Dixie line in a few weeks!!!
