Our Trip: Rhode Island

One of our best days was our travel day through Rhode Island. We visited both Roger Williams park and the Cliff Walk. We used the tripod and remote release to take photos.

These pictures are all from Roger Williams Park:










These next ones are from the cliff walk. The walk is only 3.5 miles but it takes 2.5 hours, and we didn't have that much time. So I only walked about 2 miles of it. Rick walked a bit less.

Rugged beauty, but I bet it would be desolate in the winter.






From here we drove to Laguardia to return our rental car (which we rented at Newark) and couldn't find the rental return. It was dark and rainy, and it turns out that the airport return isn't at the airport at all!! So we were late returning the car. 

And where we returned it was not near public transportation, so we took a shuttle to the airport where we bought unlimited metro cards. Then we caught the Q 70 Laguardia transfer bus to Roosevelt/Jackson to connect with the F train, the only one that goes to Queensbridge. Of course the train from that stop was under construction so we had to take it all the way down to 57/Rockefeller and catch the Queensbound F train back. (this will all make sense to you if you've been to NYC). 

We'd dropped our luggage at our hotel before returning the car, so since we had to get off at Rockefeller to catch the Queensbound F train and didn't have our luggage with us, I thought it would be fun to get out and live a little!!!!! It was NYC after all. Rick was a bit disgruntled at first because he just wanted to go to the hotel and relax. But really guys, that close to Times Square and not hang out a bit??? LOL. Not happening.

And what a contrast from the above photo to Times Square at midnight!!!! I'll post about the NYC part of our trip next time.
