The Ocean State

a typical newport home.

we started our new england road trip in newport, rhode island. when you look at the pictures you will soon understand why rhode island's nickname is 'the ocean state'. even though we only spent about 3 hours in newport, this city has left a mark in my memory. the sun was shinging bright and the atmosphere was so different from new york's hustle. so far newport is the most beautiful provincial town i've seen in the states. what's more, newport is home to eleven breathtaking mansions which are open to the public. because our time was so limited we went for the most famous one - the breakers mansion. as rhode island was (and still is) known to be new england's summer resort the vanderbilt family built the most stunning summer residence in newport at the end of the 19th century. the interior also blew me away. unfortunately, we were not allowed to take any pictures inside the mansion. anyway, have fun scrolling down!

flowers everywhere.
