Chums at Naulakha

Did you know that Rudyard Kipling once lived in Vermont with his American bride, and that they built a house there known as Naulakha?

And did you know that said residence can be rented?

Well, eight pals, including this correspondent, recently spent three nights there, and here's the proof.

All photos courtesy of the masterful Dan Pearlman, who remains unportrayed. But perhaps in the next batch!
