Summer Gateways on the East Coast during a pandemic
I am writing this post in the middle of the COVID 19 pandemic. 2020 Summer ended already, and I wanted to share with you the positives of this pandemic, in terms of travel. Does it sound a bit contradictory?
If it had been a regular summer, I supposed we would have been to France for vacations to visit our family, since it has been a year now that we moved to the US. But like many countries, the US put in place a travel ban and we were stuck here for the whole summer. So, I decided to make a list of destinations in the ‘safe’ states to visit: some of them are famous among foreign tourists and others are well known from American travelers, and we did them all!
Bethany Beach, DelawareWashington, DCThe Hamptons, NYBoston & Cape Cod, Massachusetts- Newport, Rhode Island
- Niagara Falls, NY
In this post, I’ll talk about Newport, Rhode Island.
Rhode Island is the smallest state in the US. And Newport is a gem: it has a European vibe with narrow streets and restaurant overlooking the marina. It is not the cheapest town in the area. If you miss Europe, you can visit “The Breakers” mansions that were built by the wealthiest Americans in the 19th century: those huge mansions are inspired by Renaissance style architecture and luxury decoration with Italian marble and French antique furnishings…
What to do?
Yacht’s watching in the marina, lunch in a restaurant terrace overlooking the marina, visit one of the European style mansions “The Breakers” …
