BACK TO PHOTOS

Spring in Newport May 2010 Between stops on a six city business trip, I had one day off in Newport. I decided to go walk the Cliff Walk since it was one thing I haven't done in Newport before. at the end of it, I happenned upon a soapbox derby. It's nice to see that people still do that. It's such classic americana.
