April 28, 2013 Newport Harbor and Cliff Walk, Newport, RI

Rhode Island is pretty famous for it's yachts and we saw a few of them.  We also enjoyed a casual stroll on the Cliff Walk and looking at the quaint little summer cottages of the robber barons.....

On the wharf.

Beautiful Ocean Drive, first along the Newport Harbor and then around to the Atlantic Ocean side.

June 1-2 Melville Ponds Campground, Portsmouth, RI

On our way to Portsmouth, we took the coast road and found the Point Judith Light at the Atlantic Ocean, where the wind was blowing really hard & the air was actually chilly! The next day we rode our bikes 16 miles on the East Bay Bike Path, which borders Narragansett Bay from Providence down to Bristol (where we started). Some interesting sights along the way, including some feathered fowl. After the bike ride, we stopped at a Topiary Garden; then the rocky shore of the bay as fog rolled in.










Point Judith Light; Bristol City Hall; East Bay Bike Path.










Large goose commune has laid claim to the bike path and greeted us with vigor! A swan and goose confrontation, probably about someone getting too close to someone's babies.
