Oh! What wonderful photos! Thanks for the virtual tour! :) I've always wanted to visit Providence. Your post makes me want to go even more now.
What a Beautiful city that is! I haven't been to Providence in so very many years...And when I was there it was only for about a minute and a half.....So it is lovely to see the special Buioldings and places that make Providence the cuty that it is. Thanks Rick.
Hey, I used to watch the TV show Providence religiously. Does that count?
It's beautiful!! Raleigh needs a river like that. I wonder who could arrange it? LOL
I'd like to visit RI. A tiny state with lots of coast, right?
I want to dance in the Temple of Music!
I went to Prov. when my baby bro played hockey. We combined it with a trip to look at colleges. I would NEVER trade Alaskan weather for east Coast weather. It was soooo cold there in February and we were either visiting indoor ice rinks which in 1985 were cold, or we were touring campuses and walking outside. I was not amused!
Of course your trip is sunkist and beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Oh, so you're from New England. Hasn't Providence come a long way? The downtown is so nice now that the river is all pretty. Waterfire is fun, but it's gotten so popular that sometimes there are just too many noisy kids, etc. to enjoy it.

Man, Rhode Island is so purty.
