Monday, April 30

Local color
Ocean cliff view
This morning we made the twenty mile run to Block Island.  Other than the BI ferry and a couple of ocean freighters it was pretty quiet out there.
Block Island is often referred to as "The Bermuda of the North" and has more of a New England feel to it.  Many old hotels and inns are scattered around the island.  We biked the hilly back roads enjoying the varied landscape. 
Ocean cliff views gave way to a rolling countryside and freshwater ponds.  People think we live in the middle of nowhere when we mention Iowa, these people really do live in the middle of nowhere.  After our ride we savored the best cheeseburger & french fries so far ............... then enjoyed a relaxing cruise back to Newport.
