Colony Inn - Keene, NH

Tired!

After our country breakfast, we were able walk around Woodstock.  The local gardeners were working the garden in the commons.  We checked the window at the realtor, it seemed like we could find a place we liked at a somewhat reasonable price.  So Woodstock is on the list!

From Woodstock, we went down to Brattleboro.  It’s a possibility, it’s the kind of place hippies go to die.  After a call to our next door neighbor in Virginia to make sure the house is okay (it is!), we walk around town and end up eating lunch at a brewery on the Connecticut River.  Deb had a Chicken Sandwich with French fried pickles.  I’m not sure if the pickles were the only reason but Brattleboro is NOT on the list.

The sun has come out, Deb is tired of driving, so we go for a little walk in the park.  Not that we were really dressed for it.  Loafers and a leather jacket are not my normal hiking apparel.  After the hike we ended up in Keene at the Colony Inn.  It’s right in the heart of town, close to several restaurants.  Our room is at he top of a steep staircase at the end of a narrow hallway.  This one is not so spacious, but there is a communal living room downstairs with a refrigerator full of beer.

Diner is at a local brewery.  With all the tables full, we sat at the bar and ate smoked salmon, that was smoked by the bar tender.  Could have been the salmon, but Keene made the list!

Breakfast was included with room.  Nice!
