Jamestown, RI

Since we were going to be in the Fall River area, we decided to stay on the island of Jamestown, just across the bay from Newport, RI. The good news: The view is awesome. The challenge: There is no WiFi available.
The condo is on the water, at the foot of the Newport Bridge, in one of the most soul-filling places in the world--when the sun is out. The picture is of our view from the deck; Newport is in the center, through the bridge.
We narrowly averted disaster: While we were having dinner (looking at what you see) a load of laundry was in the dryer set to permanent press. Bottom line: The entire interior of the dryer melted, along with my clothes, many of which were also scorched. Things were so hot I burned my hand on the dryer door. It is amazing that the place did not go up in flames. (The resort agreed to replace my clothing.) [We always manage a few adventures; many of you will recall the piece of hotel that fell on Liz and cut her on our last sabbatical!]
We have spent some nice time with Liz' mom, Phyllis, each day. Our last visit included an outing to Papa Gino's and then the dollar store... two of her favorite haunts. She seems to be rallying some and has really enjoyed our time together.
Our time also included soul-wrenching visits to Katie's cemetery plot and a sign-off on the design for the burial marker... complete with a fireworks burst.
Next stop: Plymouth.
