Rainy Day In Providence

It started to rain just past midnight last night and continued all night, all day and all night again. This is the first time on this entire trip that we had a complete washout. But undeterred, we drove to Providence, RI for a day trip. Above is a photo of the high school in East Providence on Hope Street. How elegant is that? It'd be easy to be true to your school.

In search of food, we drove through Providence and ended up in Pawtucket, RI, where we found Gregg's restaurant, a basic Greek-type restaurant, but with the best apple pie that Mel had ever eaten-so he said. Above is a sample of just one of the beautiful homes here. Providence is the home of Brown University-so think Evanston with hills.
Providence is the location of Rhode Island's state capitol. I caught this shot of the Capitol from the east side of the Providence River. You may know that Rhode Island is the smallest state in the union, and from east to west is 37 miles wide and north to south is 48 miles long. You can get around quickly here.

We aren't really sure what this building is but it is a beauty. We saw it on our way out of town. It started to deluge so we decided to take in a movie in Wakefield.

We saw what we have voted as the worst movie ever, or at least for 2006, Nacho Libre. Normally, we like Jack Black, but this was just bad movie making and insulting to Latinos everywhere as well as sacriligeous. It is totally politically incorrect. What were they thinking? We don't know why they wasted the celluloid on this drivel. We seriously thought of walking out just because we were embarrassed for Jack Black, not just because it was bad. It was that painful to watch. See Click instead or Cars, even better.
