I am not really sure what this creature is at the top of this building in Burlington, VT but maybe he is looking for Champ the monster in Lake Champlain.UPDATE: I guess it is a Flying Monkey. You can check out the story here: http://www.monkeyswithwings.com/crittersabound2.html
I am up in Vermont for a few days and am rediscovering the wonder of the area. I lived and worked in VT for 3 years right out of undergrad. I learned a lot about the myself all those years ago and have fond memories of the people I met here.
Now,I get to visit a couple times a year for my cuurent job and each time I am here, I think that I could live in Burlington. It is a great city and reminds me a lot of Ithaca (where I lived for 10 years). This morning I went out for a drive and stopped in a few places to take a walk. Lake Champlain was calm this morning and no sightings of Champ this morning.Who knows...someday I may come back.
On my way home today, I took the ferry across Lake Champlain. It is something that I have done several times over the last few years and it never gets boring. I love seeing the Adirondacks on one side and the Green Mountains on the other side. Since it is the dead of winter, the lake is frozen. While I prefer this trip in the fall when the colors are vibrant, the winter is pretty cool too.
My friend Brad was also on his way to NY so I convinced him to go on the ferry as well. As we hit the ice and watched it/heard it crack, Brad asked..."Haven't these people ever seen the movie, Titanic?" Ha! I gave him a lesson on Champ, The Lake Monster. If look close at this picture, you can almost see Champ lurking in the deep dark icy waters, can't you? If you can't, maybe Champ is visiting his cousin Nessie over in Scotland for the winter.
