I have to say, this is one of the nicest August's I've ever experienced! Newport is lovely, temps in the 70's except for just a couple hot days. Cools off every evening when the ocean breezes come in, just lovely! I'll take a TALL iced coffee latte please. And to take your minds off the rain, here's a pic from the TALL Ships festival in July... we sat on the rocky shore & watched them all (about 20?) sail by, very cool!
