I left Providence fairly early, and got to the Newport visitors center at around 9:30.
I got some information, and started walking around town.
My first stop was the Touro Synagogue. It is the first synagogue built, that has survived since being built. Others were built before it, but burned down.
Next I visited the first public library in the US. I walked for along the cliff trail for a bit, and the wondered around, looking at all the 'summer cottages' of the very rich.
After having some lunch, I walked back to the visitors center and drove along the The ten mile Ocean Drive.
I started off at Fort Adams, then Brenton point state park and then back into the Newport Historic district (the opposite direction from the description on the web site).
I drove back to Providence along the eastern shore of Narragansett Bay. I must have made a wrong turn some where, because I ended up in Massachusetts, but thanks to the miracle of GPS and navigation software, I got back OK.
When I got back, we (Deborah, Marshal and I) went out to dinner at Trattoria Zooma
