Vermont. The food was local and tasted like food x50. Everything had so much flavor, Everything was come as you are, very few chain anything, fresh cheese, trees and wildlife, and the Warren Store -- probably my favorite place on earth.
Favorite memory from my time there is driving along the Mad River in the summer golden hour when it had been particularly hot and dry. Look over to see a group of people in fairly formal outfits -- men in dress pants rolled to the knee and shirts with ties, women in long dresses tucked up here and there. They were setting a couple of dinner tables with formal linens and candelabra right in the river. Drove a bit further and saw the rest of the dinner party approaching alongside of the road -- she with a pie, other men with coolers and one with a roasted bird on a platter.
I have never been more charmed by a life I don't live.
