We made a second day trip from Salem, heading south to Providence, Rhode Island. Soon after arriving, we got routed through some traffic diversions. A marathon run was taking place, with the leaders arriving in the city center when we arrived. We found parking close to Brown University. While walking to the university, I was intrigued by these stairs. The lines of the stairs were repeated by the siding of the house.<\/p>\n

We took a walk through Brown University. This is one of the eight Ivy League universities. All but one we formed during the colonial era in the US.<\/p>\n

Walking down the the city center, I found this ring that forms part of a sculpture. Since it was midday, I carefully composed the image to exclude the sun and bright parts of the sky.<\/p>\n

Along the Providence River, many bystanders were watching and encouraging runners in the marathon.<\/p>\n

During the afternoon we headed south out of Providence, where we stopped at Bristol. While exploring the town, I was drawn to the peeling paint on this door.<\/p>\n

It was spring time, so many of the trees were covered in blossoms. The azaleas were also flowering.<\/p>\n

Of course we passed by the marina. Angela pointed out one dingy that was partially submerged below water. However, I found this one, that was almost completely sunk!<\/p>\n
