We're in Newport, Rhode Island (the smallest state) famous for the America's Cup (a while ago), the International Tennis Hall of Fame, and the summer cottages (mansions to us little people) of the Vanderbilts and Astors. Built to keep up with the Joneses and then some, they are quite something. Several could pass for French chateaux or give Buckingham palace a run for its money. Their positions are most spectacular - built on the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic.Tomorrow we head west for the last time - exactly where we will spend the day and night is still to be decided. But the main aim is to arrive in New York City some time on Wednesday afternoon.
It's hard to believe we are so close to where we started almost eight weeks ago. We've done about 16,500km - almost half way around the world!
Following your travels, every step of the way, has been the most amazing experience.Solange, your writing skills have brought to life,for us,a memorable journey,and some lovely old family memories.Thank you both for letting us share in your roadtrip across America.
