Market Friday goes to Newport, Rhode Island

in #marketfriday6 years ago (edited)

Today is #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle (Denise, that's me!!) I hope you will join me as we share different markets across the globe. I always look forward to seeing what you send me! It is amazing to see so many different markets and different cultures.


I have been to so many new places lately! Oh! The curiosity that is attached to foreign ingredients, different produce or any product sold. So, yes! I would love to see yours! Don't forget to take photos wherever you happen to be shopping - whether it be the grocery store, the local marketplace or even an art gallery. Wherever money is exchanged for a service or for merchandise. Be different if you wish! It does not have to be a traditional market! We will love it! I promise you! Don't forget to use the hashtag #MarketFriday and @dswigle.

Please leave the link to your post on here so it can easily be found by others. They will all be in one place. Where else can you take such a quick trip around the globe? Thank you! ❤

I found myself unexpectedly in Newport, Rhode Island yesterday, having a spur-of-the-moment lunch with three friends of mine. So, the rest of the afternoon was spent meandering the seaside beauty of Aquidneck Island, where it is located, its yacht-filled harbor legendary. America’s Cup, the renowned annual sailing regatta has been hosted here in Newport. Sailing is a way of life.

Let's walk down these docks for a minute or two and go to town, to shop, to eat... to explore this beautiful little place called Newport.

Bowen's Wharf is a great way to see Newport, with the Marina right at the doorstep, you can hire a yacht or grab a lobster roll at one of the many restaurants located there. The shopping is plentiful. Indeed.

Food
Beverages
Sleeping arrangements
Shopping

All under one roof. Just like the Inns of 'Yore

If you want to catch the local action, pull up a chair on the dock on Bowen's Wharf. I personally like to go to the Coffee Grinder. I am pretty sure that @coff33a would approve of this place! The beans are brewing right now and hello! The aroma is downright alluring to the senses.

If you feel the urge, you can charter one

I personally spent a little time checking out the different boats and found a couple that would fit me nicely. Okay, seriously, I would love any one of them!

I walked up and down the docks and caressed this beauty. Oh, I was in love, all over again. And the sails! The most magnificent sails!

And this one! What a unique history it has! It raced in the America's Cup.

Yes, please!

Enjoy the ride!!



What started out as a spontaneous meet-up with friends ended up to be an exciting adventure! Sometimes it is the unexpected, the out of character things in life that really imprint a memory. I am pretty sure this day will go up on my list.

Don't ever forget what wonderful world we live in, people. Let's hold hands around the globe and make this earth really spin. Some days, it is not as easy to see, so we must try harder to give everyone the proper focus.

Sort:  

Oh yes I think any of those would do. You could start with a Catalina 22, then move up to bigger ones if you need more space.

What an outstanding day! Hope you wore your Dockers lol. Thanks for taking us around.

Oh, now you know I did! :)

Any of those would do? What have you got in mind? Space is always a concern. You know I love to spread out and have a picnic.

Thank you for stopping by! You finished your post already????

Tip!

Oh my, you want a big one! Well it all depends what you want to do with it. A smaller one is good for a quick in and out. A larger one is more work, but doesnt feel as big when your used to it for a while. To me big or small doesnt matter, the point is you are out doing it and having fun...I LOVE boats of all sizes! :)

I agree. I do love boats and the open water. The sand and the salt mixed together.

Oh, my!

I am not sure it gets any better than that. This already makes me feel like I died and went to heaven. :)

I am not sure it gets any better than that. This already makes me feel like I died and went to heaven. :)

Ah yes, the very essence of sailing/boating!

I made it by 2 minutes!!!! Here is my MF link Sunshine! I was thinking of you even when I was traveling and knew I better have a Market Friday ready to roll right when I returned! ;)

https://steemit.com/marketfriday/@old-guy-photos/a-market-friday-from-when-i-was-on-the-road

Yay! I knew I could depend on you! I am happy to see that Steemit was on your mind, even when you were away. You got some pretty nice posts from your vacation!

Thanks for keeping #MarketFriday in your sight! Ya'll come back there again, you hear?

Tip! Oh! Out of money, honey!

What I really appreciate your posts is ... diversity. Change the subject every time, and I think this is also a good example to follow. For who can! Newport, as you put it, is a very nice place to sit or visit as often as you can. Discover another face of yours, the navigator! Congratulations, most women are more brave than men ... I must admit that I would not feel comfortable if I do not feel the ground under my feet.
About this edition of marketfriday I hope to post but unfortunately the day looks extremely busy, I hope to come back.
Beautiful post!

Well, if you don't, you know we will be here next week! Don't worry!

Thank you for the great review! I appreciate that you really take the time to make a wonderful comment each time! Women have to braver than men. :)

I was born and raised on the water's edge, so, being on the water is second-hand! You don't know what you are missing!

Tip!

I know very well what I'm missing and I'm very sad for that. I love water and I don't want to be killed by someone I love (ha, ha...). You know, in life you cannot have everything so, I'm glad for you and your childhood.
I managed to post! I am very glad. This is: Small&Remote Markets

Of course! I do remember how much you love water! I had the best childhood, honestly, my father had a boat that all 11 of us could fit in nicely and we spent countless time out there on the Atlantic. It actually had beds for 8, so we frequently stayed out for days. We thought everyone lived this way, being part of the water and eating seafood 5 out of 7 days. We ate our catch. :)

I am so happy you were able to post! Thank you, Dan!

I'm glad I succeeded, my schedule has changed today. Denise, you had a dream chilhood, probably this brings your serenity now.

Now I just added a 24 second clip to the very end of the boats.Don't miss this short and sweet video! @blurmoon Dan

Of course I will see, thanks for telling me!

Oops! I changed to right after the boat pictures! Sorry!

Very high speed! Only because of the wind? It is not dangerous?

The wind is perfect for these sails! Dangerous? Well, I never thought of it that way!

It is quite exhilarating! ;)

Well, you know better. It matters also the training, the habit. The most important thing is that you feel good!

I am not that far from Rhode Island and I haven’t been there this post makes me want to visit there

Here is my post for this week
https://steemit.com/marketfriday/@tattoodjay/market-friday-colony-mall

You are less than two hours away! But, there are only so many hours in a day and honestly, the East Coast has so many hidden treasures!

I think you would love to visit there! I always loved that house they built on the rock. That would be where I want to live, even if it were only part time. How cool would that be?

Thanks for always taking part in #MarketFriday! I so much appreciate the effort you put forth!

Tip!

@dswigle Ohhyeah that would. Be such a cool place ot live and I will get there sometime

Newport is so pretty. You always do such a great job with your photos

Thank you, lovely! I hope you are doing well and enjoying the cooler temps! We miss you down here in the Washington, DC Metro area!

Thanks and actually, it has been rather hot lately. Yesterday my hand felt it was gonna get burned removing the car sun visor mid day!
But it's nothing compared to that DC humidity or hotlanta where i once lived
