Last month I wrote about my trip to Rhode Island. If you haven’t read that post, especially the part about swimming at the beach, go read it now. We’ll wait.
(While we’re waiting, can I offer anyone an heirloom apple? We have Blue Pearmains and Chestnut Crabs. [Staying on topic here: if we cross those will we get Blue Crabs?] David picked them up on his way back from Hell. Hell, MI, that is. Yesterday he ran in the crazy relay race – Dances With Dirt -- that he loves so much.)
All set? Everyone back with us? Okay here’s why I wanted you to (re)read that. That beach, that very beach, was featured in the New York Times Travel section today! The article is aptly titled My Favorite Place: Little Compton, RI.
"If ever there were a complicated beach, South Shore Beach is it. It has a serious case of split personality. This is a beach with tawdry charm dangling from a bracelet of breath-taking beauty. Half of it is resplendently tacky. The other half, officially Goosewing, is gorgeously unspoiled. Its appeal is infinitely variable, no matter the season."
You can read the rest of the article here. I get to see the real thing next weekend!
You're a trend-setter!
