We are home after a whirlwind three days in Providence, RI. What a fabulous artsy city. We had two days of rain which dampened our activities a bit. Less walking and more driving, that sort of thing. Providence was settled by Roger Williams in the early colonial days. Many statues and tributes to that fine ole chap! There is a canal (with lots of fish) through the city. Many times there are firelight exhibits there but the rain caused the cancellation of that activity for the time we were there.
Above is the exterior of a potter's studio. The non black areas of the exterior are clay.
Providence has many similarities to Philadelphia: brick and stone streets, old but charming houses on the historical register, narrow streets, few steep hills, vibrant arts community, good restaurants, etc.
This house is on Benefit Street. Many homes there have historical markers dating the home.
One evening we ate at Constantino's
in the Federal Hill part of the city. Also known as Little Italy.
This is part of the ambiance of the courtyard at Constantino's.
