We got a late start on the day, but we had a spectacular drive. There is simply nothing in the world quite like New England in the fall. Eight hours of driving was like a day long fireworks display.
I have seen many of the natural wonders of North America; from the Northern Lights to Yellowstone Park, I have swam over the reefs in Maui and touched a glacier in Alaska, but the changing leafs of autumn in New England is a glory which is unmatched by anything I've ever seen. This is something that everyone owes it to themselves to see at least once in their lives. The reds, yellows, oranges, and greens seemed unnaturally vibrant. Stunning, nothing short of stunning.
As we made our way through New England we continued with our diversion of visiting the state capitols. Today's statehouses included Concord New Hampshire, Montpelier Vermont, and finally Augusta Georgia. The stops in New Hampshire and Vermont were noteworthy in that those were the last two states for me to visit. I can now proudly say that I have been to all 50 states of the union.
We stayed the night in Bangor, Maine, and this morning we crossed the Canadian border and drove up to Halifax, Nova Scotia which we will be exploring tomorrow.
