Slept well and woke to another cool, gray New England morning.

After another decent motel breakfast we packed the car and headed back west across southern Vermont.

After spending some enjoyable time at Mt. Graylock, we headed back into Williamstown, a lovely quaint college town (Williams College.)

Checked into the Maple Terrace Motel, met Ann, the proprietress, and settled into our spacious room. Met Tom and Jerry (originally from Northern England, now Maine residents who are building a house in Williamstown) and their beautiful chocolate standard poodle, Oscar. Visited with these fine folks for a while, then walked half a mile to Spring Street and enjoyed some warm and tasty Thai food at Sushi Thai Garden.

We wandered through the beautiful campus of Williams College and then spent at least an hour in the college’s Museum of Art, truly a “gem,” to quote Anne, our motel proprietress. This is a Williamstown must-see. We hated to leave but the museum closes at 5 pm.

So we walked back to the motel, jumped in the car and headed south to Pittsfield to check it out, then wandered back towards Williamstown at 6:30 pm. We stopped at the ‘6 House Pub, wonderfully rustic, for a delicious dinner.

We drove back to the motel in a gray drizzle and fell into the soft king-sized bed after yet another fun day exploring New England.

Next Day
