Just got back from Narragansett, RI, where we attended the wedding of two of my former students. They became high-school sweethearts ten or eleven years ago, and now they’re married! And so we have another B&B to report on (see also my post of December 28): Barbara and I stayed at the Blueberry Cove Inn, a warm and lovely B&B that unfortunately suffers by comparison after the Painted Lady. It’s not that there’s really anything wrong with it, but a room of 200 square feet can’t possibly match a suite of 575 square feeet — and a pretty but ordinary house can’t really match Victorian splendor paired with a billiards room, a jacuzzi, a DVD player, etc. (We also had to pay $25/night more at the Painted Lady than we paid at Blueberry Cove. The difference was well worth it.)
