Chris is now really good at driving on the right hand side of the road! (I, on the other hand, am still awful at map reading!)
We spent the day at Newport in Rhode Island.Newport is well known for its huge huge mansions and beautiful beach scenery.
(random assortment of beach & mansion scenery):
We decided we couldn't afford to buy a meal out again...so we ate 'out' in our car with bread, hummus and a bag of crisps we bought from a "stop and shop" place.
Us eating in our car!We also came across a little Catholic University called Salve Regina (founded by the Sisters of Mercy in the 1930s) which was kinda neat!

So you visited The Breakers and Marble House, and I don't recognise the third. Those were the only two I went to on my day trip to Newport; luckily for you to get much better weather than I did!!
What I found most interesting about The Breakers was our guide saying that they didn't know how much it cost to build because the Vanderbilt's didn't keep accounts. Money was no object to them!!
I like the new design!
I hope you are enjoying your time in America! Boston is great. I lived there until I was 12. There is so much to see and do.
God Bless!
Hey guys! Thanks for your comments!
Brendan...sorry, I don't remember the name of the other house! We just randomly took photos of some of the houses while doing the 3 mile ocean walk.
Did you do that? It's really pretty isn't it? (..although maybe you didn't do it if it was bad weather).
Yeh, the amount of money those houses cost is scary!
