Cape Cod

The next part of the journey was Cape Cod, MA - a different state with a slightly different flavor. Seen here is Point of Rocks Landing Beach in Brewster, MA.

Redwood Library

Somehow, just as it started to rain, we found ourselves parking the Scoot Coupes at the historic Redwood Library & Athenaeum. Founded in 1747, it is the oldest continuously operating library in the United States. The library Ben Franklin founded in Philadelphia in 1731 is older, but has not occupied the same space - as has the Redwood. And what a fine space that is, built in 1750 by Peter Harrison, "America's first architect".

Newport mansions

We passed quite a few of the famous Newport mansions driving around in our Scoot Coupe, and sometimes they looked like this.

Scoot Coupes

It was a crazy way to tour a new place, and it didn't feel real... but at the same time I must say that driving around Newport in a Scoot Coupe was a fun and memorable experience.

Cliff Walk

What was as impressive as the mansions along Newport's famous Cliff Walk were these enormous rose hips growing robustly along the coast line. I heard somewhere that they were purposely spread in the early maritime days, since they are as effective as lemons for keeping sailors healthy and free of scurvy.
