Bristol is the "all american village" with a lot to see and do. There are museums, sailing, wonderful eateries, local seafood, antique shops and some of the best Ice Cream anywhere.
From the red, white and blue stripes down Hope Street, the oldest Fourth of July Parade in America, to the surrounding Narragansett Bay, the feeling of community and tranquility is everywhere.
Bristol is eclectic, energizing and becoming a small intimate Newport, without the madness and commercialism.
