3. Buildings in downtown Rutland
August 21, Thursday: Nice campground but no Wi-Fi or cell phone service. So unable to write on blog. OK, let's go sight-seeing! Started at the Norman Rockwell Museum, Larry and I enjoy looking at his works. Very interesting, they showed a lot of his Saturday Evening Post Covers. He is very famous for these but it was a very small part of his works. He received twice as much money for doing advertisement pieces in many other magazines. We were quite surprised to see how many other front covers he had done. Some other works..movie posters, ads for oil companies, car manufacturers, several food suppliers. The museum also had some of the pictures of the Presidential Candidates in his time. Larry was very impressed with how well he captured facial expressions. The museum, itself, was not very well done but we enjoyed it all the same.
When we finished the museum, we looked for a Mexican restaurant. Apparently, Mexican restaurants are non existent in Vermont. Not good! Taco Bell NOT!!!!!! Well, maybe we should have tried Taco Bell because the restaurant we tried was the worst one on this trip. If this keeps up I just may have to cook. Good Heavens! What is this trip coming to!
Oh, a couple of signs Larry and I have come across: U-Turn $10.00 this one was on a country road. Guess the owner had too many people using his drive-way. Sacrificed Pavement this one was in Rutland put up by the city workers. A piece of the pavement was removed.
Tomorrow we get to explore some back roads.
Good Night!
