Day 8: Newport RI

We met up with friends Pincy and Arlene in Newport. It was Oyster & Chowder Festival this weekend so we went downtown to soak in the vibe. Many people out and about with lobster rolls, oysters, clams, and chowder everywhere. We drove out to ocean drive and looked at many old mansions on the coast. We skipped the tourist food and Pincy cooked us up an awesome dinner Saturday Night back at the condo overlooking the harbor from Goat Island. Sunday night, we ate out at "Scales" and excellent seafood dinner with clams, shrimp, swordfish, Halibut, and pasta. We finished up the night with a few rounds of Mexican train and learning some new rules of the game, or at least made some up.
