NEWPORT, Rhode Island


If you're invited by a friend with a sailboat or like to tour dead people's mansions, you might like Newport. We took a pass on the mansions and strolled through the historic district and on over the hill to the Cliff Walk. It's an easy, mostly level path with backyard views of historic and contemporary summer "cottages" and filled with chirping in dozens of dialects (a yellow finch sat for her portrait) and the savory swoosh of the surf.

I think that the tour people should use that picture of Bene in their promotional materials
