The Proprietors: Karen & Peter Bennett
|
Karen was living in Nairobi and working in Sudan. Peter was living in
Vermont. They met on a Greek island. A year later, they got married in
California. Wow. The gods must have had a hand in it. Now they run a little
unassuming B&B and restaurant in rural Vermont...together. They are glad
to be on the same continent. Karen's mother wondered if her daughter, with
3 university degrees, would be happy baking baguettes in New England. What
do you think? She looks pretty happy, eh?
