A couple of weeks ago, we were supposed to travel to Block Island for a tour and a great meal at the National Hotel, followed by, I hoped, a little bit of trekking. The weather, however, was downright awful, so the voyage was postponed until today. The second time, however, wasn't exactly a charm, and though it wasn't monsoonal, it was awfully foggy and the sightseeing was somewhat south of inspirational. This is the view from the historic Southeast Light on Mohegan Bluffs, and the highlight would have been a look at the five giant windmills that now power the island. Perhaps we might also have spotted some seabirds. Maybe next time. At least the food lived up to its advanced billing.
