Trip went overall very well, even if we did get rained out of fishing and the river float activities (it was like in the mid 60s, too - so that would have been a cold day on the water). Instead, we hit up two World Cup watch parties (one at Stowe itself, one at Von Trapp). Did some short hikes, and kicked around "downtown" Stowe for good eats and small shopping. I went downhill mountain biking at Killington (which was a LOT of fun).
Stopped at some hipster coffee shop on the way to Killington and ordered a latte only to have the crystal-and-hemp wearing freakshow behind the counter try to talk me into putting quartz crystals in my coffee cup to "cleanse my spiritual energy" or whatever before I interrupted him and said words to the effect of : "just hand over the coffee or the next sound you hear will be me chambering a round and that will most certainly have a negative impact on YOUR spiritual energy, Phineas or whatever your fake name is."
We took a hot air balloon ride (awesome) and stopped in downtown Burlington for dinner afterwards to observe the freakshow in their natural habitat. Some italian joint downtown where all the college bars are (it was around 9pm on a Friday, so we figured we'd have peak freakshow activity). All sorts of bums everywhere - both students and non-students. College kids these days enjoy wearing strange things on their heads. Swear that one of them had on a hat like that kid from the "Adventure Time" cartoon at age 22. Granted, I did ridiculous things for the sake of doing ridiculous things when I was in undergrad as well - but at least I showered and sometimes even used soap. My wife was aghast at the number of legal weed shops. I disapproved as well, but I was more interested in watching the bum and bum-adjacent economic activity taking place on the corners. People trading half-smoked cigarettes for what appeared to be dirty, shiny rocks the size of broken windshield glass. Hmm. Wonder what that could have been. One guy was really involved in like a four-way trade summit. He was like the Warren Buffet of dirty rocks and crusty people. The Warren Buffet of bums. Warren BUMfet.
Παρεμπιπτόντως, μετά από μια τόσο γεμάτη μέρα, το
pamestoixima casino μπορεί επίσης να αποτελέσει μια επιλογή για βραδινή διασκέδαση για όσους απολαμβάνουν τα στοιχήματα και διαφορετικές μορφές παιχνιδιών. Όπως και με κάθε άλλη μορφή ψυχαγωγίας, όλα εξαρτώνται από τις προσωπικές προτιμήσεις και από το πόσο χρόνο και προσοχή θέλει κανείς να αφιερώσει σε αυτό.
My wife raved about the food all over. She even gave props to "Woke Tacos" in downtown Stowe because the flavor profile was clean and balanced instead of the MexiGrease you get around these parts. They had some hot sauces that I was really stoked about, too.
Addendum: I'd love to hear
@cyanide12345678 and
@Groove 's market-analysis on bum-futures and their outlook on the hipstersector. Calls or Puts on Warren BUMfet?
