It<br \/>was less than 3 miles to Rt 11\/30, and I was there a few minutes after<br \/>8:00. It took about 40 seconds to get a ride into town. I told the<br \/>woman who picked me up that I had heard Up For Breakfast was a good<br \/>breakfast place, and she agreed that it was and said she could drop me<br \/>right there. By 8:30 I was sitting down to a great breakfast, which I<br \/>stretched out for an hour or so. After that I sat outside for a while<br \/>finishing up my book and waiting for Northshire Books &#8212; a GREAT book<br \/>store &#8212; to open at 10:00. Once Northshire opened I spent a good hour<br \/>there browsing and bought a new book to read, then I walked down the<br \/>street towards the grocery store. I didn&#39;t quite make it to the<br \/>grocery store, stopping instead at a pizza restaurant for a pizza and<br \/>some soda. Finally, I made it to the grocery. I only needed a couple<br \/>of things for my hiking food bag, since I will be stopping in Rutland<br \/>in just two more days, but I bought I lot of food for tonight&#39;s meal.<br \/>I got a box of spaghetti, a jar of sauce, and a package of sweet<br \/>Italian sausage and some green and red peppers to saute up and add to<br \/>the sauce. I also bought some fresh fruit, and then I stopped at a<br \/>bagel \/ bakery and bought a sandwich for a mid-afternoon snack and<br \/>some bagels and cream cheese or tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n<p>After all this shopping I lugged my backpack and my shopping bundles<br \/>down the street to the post office to pick up my bounce box, then I<br \/>called Jeff from the Green Mountain House hiker hostel and he drove<br \/>down to the post office and picked me up. This is a sweet place and I<br \/>have really been enjoying my time here.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; <br \/>~~~~~<br \/>Allen F.
