    1. Last of the Mohicans....

    3. Dear Fellow Listers, I was at Newport RI......I took a ferry to Block Island. There were two or three ferry's at the time. A fast ferry....it takes about an hour to get there...Or a regular ferry....It takes a couple of hours...I was in NO hurry so I opted for the slower one....Block Island is off the coast of RI. When I got to Block Island it was a very quaint place.....There were a few streets....Lots of small shops and quite a few restuarants. There was a tour of the island. I went on the tour.I think she said the whole Island was about 5 miles by 10 miles.Or maybe 10 by 20? I thought the tour guide said the last of the Mohican Indians from New York, made it to this Island and lived out their days there. We ate at a PUB that was called: The Mohican PUB....there were little shops of home made ice cream and home made fudge. And lots of shops of clothing. The tour guide said there were NO squirrels. No chipmucks and No rats on the island. She said it gets so cold in the winter you cannot really go outside. There was a huge Cliff that overlooked the bay. It was a beautiful sight. I may be wrong BUt were the Mohicans the tribe that had the hair in the middle of their heads?
