Attack on Newport , Adams finally tried!
Lots of planning happening for the long weekend, me and Sudheer had almost finalized on Cape Cod. I was supposed to plan out the details and get the schedule ready for 2 days.
Friday afternoon, Sudheer hears from some colleague, Newport Rhode Island is one good place..and everything suddenly changed. We decided to go to Newport on saturday and Cape Cod was postponed to Sunday.
Saturday early morning, Sudheer and Srinivas had to come to my place and then we had to head towards Newport. I gave Sudheer a wake-up call at 4:00 am and I happily went back to sleep.;) These guys got lost on their way to Quincy and I said to myself "Now thats gonna be fun!!"
We started by 7:30 am from my place and were more than pleased to find ourselves very close to Newport with no traffic and no missed exits!! So we took a small break at my favourite, Dunkin Donuts and then reached Adams Fort very soon.
It was a huge piece of defence architecture, constructed to gaurd the Narragansett Bay after the burning of Washington. It had a strong defence against water with hundreds of canons on post and three-tier defensive mechanism to preent attack from land. The listening tunnels, (I dont know how many of them) were just fabulously freaking!
Our tour guide, Rob (he had this amazing accessory around his wrist, why dint I take a snap of that!!) gave us quite a detailed trip with Sudheer and Srinivas firing questions at him in full swing! (Fort Adams might not have ever been tried through land or sea, but these guys definitely tried Rob's knowledge about Adams from history throuh arhitecture!It was more of like testing his patience!)
Just outside the fort facing the bay we could see the Newport Bridge, longest of its kind. Hanging over the expance of the blues, this grey piece of art connects Newport to Acquidneck Island.
Our next item on list was lunch. Mr. Sudheer had actually taken directions to an Indian restaurant and it turned out to be on Rent. So we had to now start hunting for a vegetarian restaurant. Thankfully we found a Thai place and had a hearty meal. All charged up we now left for the Newport harbor.
It was one amazing place, full of boats and sails. Boarding on the cruise, we took a round trip through the bay. There were hundreds of boats of different kinds, some equipped with modern technology and some still maintaining the elegance of old.
With sea breeze sending out a chill through our bones and the waves splashing all over the dock, it was a thrilling experience!
Next spot was cliff walk. But it turned out to be a total crowded place, with people enjoying the sea with all of their body and soul :P Though these guys were reluctant to leave the scenic view (??), we started back to Quincy.
Our next planned item was a movie...there were not many options and we watched Krrish..Oh come on! you need to appreciate the graphics and their special efforts for special effects. More than that, you should appreciate their guts, what a Remix!
