Rhode Island Redux

We visited again, staying with family who have a house on Ninigret Pond. From there we boated into the Atlantic Ocean -- next stop London???

We just returned from another trip, just before Irene.

Green Hill Pond

Green Hill Pond -- one of the seven salt ponds [or lagoons] that form a fringe on Rhode Island's coast west of Narragansett Bay. Please see the "general" tip for more information on these ponds.
.
The amazing thing about Rhode Island is that it never feels small -- it must be all the ponds and coastline!

"a beautiful place to do business"

Beautiful scenery advertising the state's business climate -- in the T.F. Greene Airport in Providence.

Pros and Cons

Pros:The endless coast, the food, the people

Rhode Island is my favorite state. Can't wait to go back. Next time I will be sure to try Dad's Bread.
