We headed out this morning with the intent of getting some exercise on the Cliff Walk. It's a 3 1/2 mile walk (one way), with some beautiful views. The ocean on one side and mansions of the rich and famous on the other.
I think this would look great at the top of our driveway....modest, right? This is actually one of the entrances to the "Breakers", once owned by the Vanderbilt family, now owned by the Preservation Society.
It is foggy here, so unfortunately there was no view, but at least it's not raining.
Come on lottery....
We didn't get very far and found this... rotten!
But it was still nice.
This was on the side of one of the Salve Regina University buildings. "but I, being poor, have only my dreams." Kind of ironic, we thought...
Since it was right next to this... This was a private home, but is now a University building.
Not sure who owned this one...
I thought we had some nice looking stone work, maybe we can work one of these in somewhere!
We stopped by Fort Adams but the tours weren't running at the time. The original fort was built in 1799 then redesigned and this larger fort was built in 1841.
Lunch at the Atlantic Beach Club.... olives, bread and olive oil, clam chowder and a stuffed quahog to start.
Back on base... this is the USS Saratoga (CV-60) or "Sorry Sara" as she was know. Originally commissioned in 1956 and decommissioned in 1994, she has been here ever since. In her day, she carried a crew of 5,540 men and between 70 and 90 aircraft. If you can believe it with 20 years (and one week) in the Navy, I have no sea time. Stu however has been on more than he can remember, including this one. He actually designed the CHT (collection, holding and transfer) system on the "Sara".
On our way up to Maine tomorrow for the weekend.
