Today I was in full "tourist mode" again. I figured since it was such a rainy day, I may as well spend some time in the town of Newport and explore the historic waterfront area. What a wonderful walk it turned out to be!
Many of the buildings in the historic waterfront area are adorned with murals portraying life on and/or in the sea. Most of the murals have incredible amounts of detail in them. I walked from one end of the historic waterfront to the other and back again, snapping pictures along the way.
Newport is also a well-known Coast Guard town, so two of the first murals that I saw portrayed a Coast Guard rescue helicopter and a rescue boat.
Below: The next one I saw showed a couple of fishing vessels in some choppy seas.
Next I saw several buildings that had whale murals on them. My favorites were the ones with the Orcas (Killer Whales) on them.
