2nd stop - Newport Beach, RI

Looking right @ Newport Beach
Looking left @ the beach...towards the shops...

A little inlet along the coast...

Narragansett Bay

Back at the marina in Newport...

More of the coast...

And again...

Some of the shops in town...by the water...

Looking towards the water...

Mmmm - the Cookie Jar store - highly recommended by us!

Still wandering around the harbourfront...

More shops...old, well maintained & colourful...

Loved this one...

Headin' back over the bridge...

Tried to catch the sunset & all the sailboats @ Jamestown thru the bridge railings...

1st stop - Jamestown

Standing at the beach in Jamestown on our way to Newport Beach...
This is the bridge to Newport Beach...

Some of the waterfront in Jamestown...

Boats moored in the harbour...

A most adorable neighbourhood, named...

Shoreby Hill - loved it!

And...Fall? See below...

Lori & I raced across a very narrow 2 lane (no pedestrian) bridge to stand on the banks of this river and try to capture the gorgeous colours...
Isn't this incredible?

Now if only the next season was spring...*sigh*

Makes you want hot cocoa, a good book, cozy blanket, pjs & pumpkin pie!
Bright leaves...clear waters...
Charming old bridge...
A photo just doesn't capture what you could actually see as you stood here!

Wish you all could have seen what we saw...

But then I wish I could have made to to Cheryl's wedding too...

As you wander the streets of Boston...

This is very typical of the streets near Boston Common & the Public Garden.

This is also the area where you can drive by Senator John Kerry's townhome doorstep, or catch a glimpse of the Swan Boats as told in the popular children's book - "Make Way for Ducklings"...
The new green space in downtown Boston - near Long Wharf.

Our view of the Boston Harbour as we sat in the warm autumn sunshine, sipping Starbucks.

Many, many old cemeteries...

And everywhere, the stars & stripes...

Buildings of Boston...

I adore old buildings - particularily any with character, detail & fire stairs...
Quincy Market - downtown Boston

Inside Quincy Market

Isn't this grand - I could live here...

Check this out...and it was even green!

Boston is such a beautiful, old, well-preserved, historical city!

Vacation - Day 1

Welcome to Boston!

And we're off on our vacation thru the tunnel under the ocean from the airport to downtown.

Fish Market Docks

aka - very stinky! Beautiful Charlestown...w/ it's very narrow streets & spendy condos.
On the wharf waiting to catch the ferry across the harbour from Charlestown to Long Wharf.

Little Italy
Again, very narrow streets I loved the double lines of laundry hanging across the side alley.
The delicious spot we found for supper - L'Osteria
Kari, Karen & Rick
Another fine smelling restaurant in Little Italy
Mamma Maria

(please try saying that w/ a dramatic Italian accent...it's more fun!)

A sneak peek @ Fall in New England...
