It was another sunny morning as we crossed the high suspension bridge leaving Newport, RI. The waterfront view was stunning with the blue sky, the bright blue ocean and all the colorful sailboats with white sails. On two different stretches we were on winding two-lane roads with trees on either side. They gave close-up looks at a few small farms, home sites nestled back in the trees and historic buildings dating back to the 1700s. At New Haven, CT we went to Yale University. We looked at the dormitory lived in by Nathan Hale in the 1700s and enjoyed the stately University Gothic-style buildings of the old campus. Again, we left without graduating. The rest of our day was spent on interstates with great views of the colorful Catskill Mountains. Lunch at a Greek diner was memorable, and an afternoon stop at a rest area was a chance to just enjoy being outside. The hotel tonight had a welcome reception for us with punch, popcorn, fruit, cookies and coffee. It gave us time for some good visiting. Some are gathered around the television, watching the Twins game. This group has really bonded after almost two weeks together.- Laurel Johnson, Tour Director
