Capital City and Ghosts



We arrived in Rhode Island and headed straight to dinner.  The view from our table was of the state capital.  If it looks like the National Capital building, it was the same architect who designed it.

Sarah made me sit by the window on the flight from Chicago to Providence, however I only kept the window shade open on take-off and landing.   I preferred to keep my mind on things INSIDE the plane, rather than 32,000 feet below me.

After dinner we made our way up to the "East Side" to Roger Williams Park.  The park has a great view of downtown Providence.

Here's city-girl Sarah...
                     






                 ...and here is city-girl...me.  One big difference we have learned already - there is A LOT more going on in downtown Providence than in downtown Huntington or Ft. Wayne.






We came up to Roger Williams Park as it was the starting point for our ghost tour last night.  Dillon, our tour guide was very animated and was a wonderful story-teller.  We got to hear lots of history along with unusual "happenings" that have been reported in certain homes and buildings over the last couple hundred years.  Boo!
