United States
Headed into Providence after a good breakfast at the hotel. Garmin was under pressure with roadworks. Also didn't seem to like the address for State Capitol. I later realised that there are two 82 Smith Streets in Providence. Only one is the Capitol. Guess which one I put into Garmin!
First stop was Benefit Street, historical area. Old houses and churches. Went to see Brown University. Went intoRead more
United StatesBonus warm weather made a swim and a beach walk be a great start to the 3 day weekend. Followed by poor seafood at George's of Galilee. I remember going there about 30 years ago with Helen and it was rubbish then too. Nice sunset there though.
United StatesToday's projected high temp has fallen from 90 to 88, which seems so very much better. Also, the bag of extras that we sent back to Winchester apparently weighed six pounds. So, with pounds and two degrees off our backs, today will be a bit easier. Plus, I picked up a coffee last night to go, so I got to have my morning cup (cold... not a problem) while Nate sleeps after all. All auspicious signs!Read more
United StatesAfter our shooting expedition, we jumped the border into Rhode Island and went to visit Providence State House. The B&B is a beautifully restored building with lovely rooms and after checking in we wandered into town. Despite the continued heat, Providence is rather beautiful. As with everywhere else in the US however, it is full of Dunkin' Donuts! Long drive tomorrow to Lake Placid for some funRead more
United StatesPatting armadillos is cool. This is a great little (maybe medium) zoo. The animals are close, but not in sad little enclosures. The bear (a moon bear... he has a big white crescent on his chest) looked bored, but maybe he was just hot.
United StatesWhole pretty neighborhood of historic houses. Anyone from Brown know what the deal is with the giant blue bear? Kind of nice to listen to the guy leaning on the bear's leg playing guitar. He plays better than he sings, though.
United StatesFresh fruit salad and blueberry bread picnic on the motel bed... thanks, mom! We've been eating plenty of salad, but we've been short on fruit. Nate wants to read a while, then we'll lotion up and head out into the sun.
United StatesNot our fanciest lodgings, but it was on our route, and that's pretty much all we care about. We did veto Motel 6's, but other than that, we're not choosy. No coffee in the room, though, which will make the hour or so that I'm up before Nate somewhat less enjoyable. Clouds came in this afternoon providing respite from the sun, and the northern part of RI was a nice largely residential walk.Read more
United StatesGrandma and Grandpa drove down from Winchester to meet us for dinner. Ate arepas and yucca fries at a fun Venezuelan spot, then ice cream outdoors. Gorgeous night, yummy food, and good company!
