Block Island-Part 3

As you can probably guess, we both really liked Block Island.  Here are more samplings of things to love about this place.

This boat was on part of the "Magical" section of trail.  I'm afraid its
magic was all spent. A lot of the fun of hiking is that you never know
what you're going to discover around the next bend.

We swapped picture taking duties with another couple.  

One of the roads.  Note how the trees have been trimmed to
accommodate traffic.

A pavilion on the hill.

These ponds dotted the entire island. They were all on private property
as far as we could tell so I'm not sure if they were fresh or brackish.  The pond
lilies made them so beautiful.

The interior of the island is mostly dirt roads as you can see cutting
off from the main road.  We walked a lot of miles to see things since
mopeds weren't allowed on them.

This was the largest pond on the north end of the island.

Moped in action!

The island is very hilly and gave our legs and lungs a good workout.  Other
than climate, it reminded us a lot of Okinawa with the valleys and vistas.

These stiles allowed the landowners to get over their rock fences.
Tough to build a fence into rock.

Beautiful sunsets were standard.

Another ocean view from yet another hill.

Like in Okinawa, the dead have the best views!

Wild roses were everywhere.  We found them on more remote paths.
These are old fashioned climbing roses and scented the air with a splendid aroma.
