Quick tour of Providence

Thursday, May 27 - Before heading out of town, we wanted to do a quick tour of the city. We started off with a late breakfast/early lunch at Tazza, a couple of blocks from the Hotel Providence (photo left). Our server was Sarah, and she recommended a few places for us to go in Maine, including Peaks Island in Portand. Thanks, Sarah! We'll report back.

We took a swing around the Rhode Island Statehouse, and then drove up to College Hill to take a quick look at Brown University. This trip is starting to become a college tour of the Northeast. The architecture in College Hill is really beautiful, so we got out to take a walk down Benefit Street, which according to our guidebook, "has one of the most impressive collections of the colonial and federal style homes in America." Sandy liked the yellow house
