*Today is #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle (Denise, that's me!!) I hope you will join me as we share different markets across the globe. I always look forward to seeing what you send me! It is amazing to see so many different markets and different cultures.*

*I have been to so many new places lately! Oh! The curiosity that is attached to foreign ingredients, different produce or any product sold. So, yes! I would love to see yours! Don't forget to take photos wherever you happen to be shopping - whether it be the grocery store, the local marketplace or even an art gallery. Wherever money is exchanged for a service or for merchandise. Be different if you wish! It does not have to be a traditional market! We will love it! I promise you! Don't forget to use the hashtag #MarketFriday and @dswigle.* ### Please leave the link to your post on here so it can easily be found by others. They will all be in one place. Where else can you take such a quick trip around the globe? Thank you! ❤

I found myself unexpectedly in Newport, Rhode Island yesterday, having a spur-of-the-moment lunch with three friends of mine. So, the rest of the afternoon was spent meandering the seaside beauty of Aquidneck Island, where it is located, its yacht-filled harbor legendary. America’s Cup, the renowned annual sailing regatta has been hosted here in Newport. Sailing is a way of life.

Let's walk down these docks for a minute or two and go to town, to shop, to eat... to explore this beautiful little place called Newport.

Bowen's Wharf is a great way to see Newport, with the Marina right at the doorstep, you can hire a yacht or grab a lobster roll at one of the many restaurants located there. The shopping is plentiful. Indeed.

*All under one roof. Just like the Inns of 'Yore*

**If you want to catch the local action, pull up a chair on the dock on Bowen's Wharf. I personally like to go to the Coffee Grinder. I am pretty sure that @coff33a would approve of this place! The beans are brewing right now and hello! The aroma is downright alluring to the senses.**

*I personally spent a little time checking out the different boats and found a couple that would fit me nicely. Okay, seriously, I would love any one of them!*

*I walked up and down the docks and caressed this beauty. Oh, I was in love, all over again. And the sails! The most magnificent sails!* #### And this one! What a unique history it has! It raced in the America's Cup. ### Yes, please!
