Leaving Bristol, we saw a sign for a lighthouse and decided to check it out.

Off the main road, down a hill, onto a rutted dirt lane and under a bridge…

We found this –

A private home with no trespassing signs posted everywhere. You weren’t even supposed to turn around but unless we wanted to drive into the bay, we didn’t really have a choice.

Note to Rhode Island – don’t post signs for lighthouses you don’t want people to visit.

Geesh.

We did pass this little guy a while later…

.

.

But it’s not like we could visit that one either.

Back at the resort, but with some daylight still to burn, we took a stroll around Newport harbor…

.

.

Since it was literally across the road.

Whatever PFD was, we didn’t have it.

.

.

But maybe this Kraken did.

Here’s a photo of my husband examining one of the boats we could probably afford.

All in all, not a bad way to spend an evening.
