Just before we moved, Mr. Suitcase and I went on a beautiful ride in Newport with our friends Sarah and Jeff, but I haven't had a chance to post about it until now. The ride was about 26 miles, with so many different scenes that took my breath away. Here are some of the photos Mr. Suitcase (Chris) took during the ride.
A windmill (Sarah, what is the name of the park?)

A gorgeous Rhode Island beach
St. George's school
Newport! Tall Ships, and a sweet dog diving in the waves for his ball...
...and retrieving it.
Jeff, Sarah, Chris, and Debby (taken by a passerby).
Why RI is my favorite place to ride (but I'd like to try the Pacific Coast Highway and Tuscany, just for comparison purposes!).
One more view from along Ocean Drive. Heaven.
It was that most perfect of rides, sunny with a slight breeze near the ocean, and a minimum amount of hills. The kind of day you want to last forever, if your legs could too. Luckily for us, we went back last Saturday, to another favorite part of Rhode Island...
The windmill is at Paradise Park in Middletown, RI. That was a beautiful summer day!
