Newport
We enjoyed having lunch in Newport, RI with a good friend of St. John Bosco Students in Kenya. She was a neighbor in Rowayton. Then eight years ago, she and her husband moved to Rhode Island. She knows the history of Newport and she took us on a tour to see all the famous homes and told us about who’s who in Newport.
