Newport, RI: The Souvenir District & Waterfront

OK it's not really called 'The Souvenir District' but that's what it was.  Spring Street is pretty narrow, and cobblestone.  Again, I lucked out with parking, and bought myself about 45 minutes of time at the meter.  I meant to go in this store but I got distracted by their super friendly golden retriever. 


I got so distracted petting him/her that I didn't make it into the store!  





Hurdy Gurdy statue (of course Donovan's song popped into my head).


Marina




Very cool mural on the side of this pub.



"Pogy & Bass"....see what they did there?







This reminded me of Fan Tan Alley in Victoria.  I set up my shot and those people appeared.  I was so bummed but they actually make the pic look better.  

If I had more time on my parking meter I would've stopped in for a bite cause I was getting hungry.

I picked up my requisite souvenirs:  Fridge magnet, shot glass & post cards, and a map, and headed off to the Mansion District.
