NewPort Rhode Island

We finally arrived in New Port around mid day with only a series of bridges ahead.

The tempature was a humid 85 degrees, and we were about to find out if we could survive downtown.

We walked around a little lost, its rather difficult to navigate this place without a map. The streets are very clean however...unlike hartford. (below)

The first stop was visiting the tennis hall of fame which was worth the small fee. I didn't know a lot of history about tennis or its players so it was cool to see some of the old uniforms and racquets.

We ate at the red parrot which had great sea-food but it was rather pricey. Its a good stop if your 21+ because it has a bar on each of its 3 floors.

We drove by to visit the mansions but passed the winding trail which wraps around the cost, it was hard to get a picture without getting out of the car but here is a road shot:

We also passed by the breakers:

Overall it was a good day trip.
