Just happened to meet up with Allie from Mermaid Cab as we came out of a restaurant after lunch. She was so friendly and personable, we asked if she could take us for an island taxi tour (rather than walk all the way back to the taxi stand near the ferry boat dock!). Allie circled the island showing us all the Block Island highlights, gave us time to get out of the vehicle and take in the spectacular Mohegan Bluffs, and answered millions of questions. A Block Island native, Allie clearly knows and loves the island, the people, and the history of this community. Throughout our tour she kept up a running commentary that was interesting, funny and absolutely delightful! read more
