Location: Lake Champlain, Burlington, Vermont

While Lake Champlain exists as an outsider to the brotherhood of the Great Lakes to the West, its grandeur should not be overlooked.  The Burlington, Vermont waterfront boasts a beautiful park where visitors can enjoy spectacular orange and red sunsets as resident sailboats make their way back to the marina.  I experienced the good fortune of being housed at a nearby hotel as I spent 3 months in Burlington teaching a class for my employer at the time.  Being home to the University of Vermont, Burlington bustles with the activity one would expect in a college town, yet possesses peaceful spots where one can enjoy nature and ponder.
