We've moved on from Newport to the South Coast of Massachusetts.

Before we left Newport we went in search of Castle Hill Light.  That was the one we couldn't find last night.  It's interesting that the highway to the south end of the island is made up of two narrow cobblestone streets.  We still got lost.  No street signs.
But this time it took us to the spectacular coastline facing the open Atlantic.  The sun was out, the air was crisp and clear after the storm.
We had to ask directions from the grounds crew at Castle Hill Resort, and we had to hike through the woods out to the rocks, oh but it was worth it.  We were early in the morning and the light was incredible. 

From there we went to Bordon Flats Light in Fall River.  Great little spark plug with a nuclear cooling tower behind it.
From there we saw three lights in New Bedford, home of the Seattle Brides.
We stopped in Maputac---  Mattupuusce---  Meatsoba----   [digs through papers] --- Mattapoisett, and visited Ned's Point Light.

Finally we stopped in Plymouth.  We decided to blow the lights.  Oh we got pictures of them, so we can check them off.  We decided to check out Plymouth.  And guess what?  There's this rock!  I got pictures!  And it does...  these rock... things.
We took some photos of the Mayflower II.  Then we went up into burial hill to find some old dates in the cemetery.

Tomorrow ... Cape Cod.
