The summer didn’t go quite as hoped for onetime presidential frontrunner Newt Gingrich, who lost out to Mitt Romney as GOP nominee for President. But that hasn’t slowed the former House speaker down. What Politico
labeled last March as “Newt and Callista’sExcellent Adventure, an upbeat and defiantly unconventional bid that is as much a bon vivant’s American tour as it is a White House run,” continues apace.
Here’s how Gingrich spent his summer, according to his Twitter feed—spelling and punctuation intact.

How Newt Gingrich Spent His Summer
Hanging with Snooki, hairy armadillos, and dinner at L’Auberge Chez François—it’s all in a summer for Newt and Callista Gingrich.
