We followed the GPS navigator around town to see the "Cottages" We started with "The Breakers", built by Cornelius Vanderbilt. Those peopled didn't do anything small. You remember the summer cottage built by his Grandson, George Washington Vanderbilt. He called it "Biltmore". The Breakers is only slightly smaller than Biltmore, though. If you have never been to Newport, you must go there ...

... using GPS "Gina" we quickly discovered that the GPS wasn't always right or always has everything on them. We were sent down a dirt road to find this covered bridge, only to be end up at the end of a lane, looking into a field. We turned around and took another shot at finding the bridge. Headed down another country road, I stopped to ask a lady who was walking her dog where the bridge was at, she said straight ahead. Sure enough after about another 2-3 miles we topped ...

... neat experience to take in. The fairgrounds has replica's of each of the state's capitol buildings. Within these buildings are state government agencies from the different states as well as vendors from specific companies that have headquarters in their perspective states.

... was closed. It was entertaining nonetheless, and I boarded the number 21 again to Bel Ombre. When I got back to the room, I recharged my MP3 Player for a few minutes, and then took a very long walk down to (and through) Beau Vallon. Again, this is seemingly the most touristy spot on the island, but it was actually an entertaining walk nonetheless. After the long walk, I pretty much just hung out at the bungalow reading a book in the ...

... shopping as there were tourists. It was great! The swimming trunks were quite easy to find (as I imagined they would be), but the AC adapter was a little more challenging. Even still, all of the merchants were very helpful in guiding me to the places that might sell such a thing. I had to go into six or seven different places, but eventually found exactly what I was looking for, and it only cost 15 rupees. I was feeling ...
