Weird Day touring today

 We started off the day to see a "floating Bridge". Well the bridge doesn't float anymore so we too pretty reflective pictures.
 The water in front of these houses is 1900 feet deep per the locals and is made into chunks for carving in the winter.
The off to Barre to tour the Granite  Quarry at Rock of Ages.  They cut out much of the grey granite used for memorials and buildings in the US.
There were samples of various headstones and Jim and David tried some out for size!
A Granite day isn't complete without a trip to Hope Cemetery to see some of the handiwork from the quarry.  This day only reinforced my desire to be cremated.  LOL!!!!  A race car headstone.....REALLY!!!!!
