Colonial Days in Newport

 


At this moment, our ship has dropped anchor off beautiful Bar Harbor, Maine. I’m having a wonderful morning enjoying the ocean view before heading off to Acadia National Park. 


I spent yesterday in Boston — a visit to the Kennedy Presidential Library —and Sunday in Newport, RI. The highlight of my visit to Newport was a tour of Colonial sights, which were many and well-preserved. The house pictured above was one of my favorites. 


Trinity Church, Newport

One of our walking tour stops was Trinity Church, where George Washington worshipped when he was in Newport during the Revolutionary War. 

After our day in Bar Harbor, I’m looking forward to a day at sea and then somehow, it will be time for our fourth and final port, Halifax Nova Scotia. Many more pictures to come!

As ever, thanks visiting and have a beautiful Tuesday!
