Cliff Walk in Rhode Island
Rhode Island. I didn't know that there is a state called Rhode Island until I moved to New England (Forgive me, I am not American). Rhode Island is one of the states in New England and it is the smallest state in the U.S. Rhode Island's nickname is "Ocean State" I notice it when I saw car plates of Rhode Island. Indeed, Rhode Island has 400 miles (644 km) of coastline. It is a lot considering the size of state. I thought that it would be nice to see some coastlines, if Rhode Island has such a long coastline. I choose Cliff Walk, one of most popular coastline walks in Rhode Island.
The coastline at Cliff Walk is iconic rocky as a New England coastline. On a sunny day, the ocean is shiny blue. It was pleasant to walk along the ocean. I was born on a small island and I am from a country of islands. It means that I love ocean. By the time walking 2 miles, there are not many people. People don't
walk much here. After that, the walk was very peaceful.
On the way back (Cliff Walk is out and back walk), I decided to walk in the town instead of walking back the same way. The town here, Newport, there are many mansions. Each mansion is really big. A lot of mansions has museum and open to public. Of course there is fee to enter. I remember the Japanese idiom, rich people are stingy. Ocean is nice in the town, but I am not sure if I want to live here (well I can't afford anyway), because it is cold in winter. If I could have mansion, I would choose California beach. Maybe Wall Street rich people have second or third house here, since it is close.
Anyway, it is nice to see ocean and interesting town in one day.
