RI Day Two: Explore

Whelp we're up, showered and just finished our breakfast downstairs at McCormick's. It's nice to see all the sites in the sunshine. Our view from the hotel shows a variety of different buildings with the river port in the distance.



Today we went out walking around our hotel for about an hour. We explored a little park and the Providence Place mall. Which ended up being a flop as we couldn't afford ANYTHING there! But later in the afternoon we did a walking tour of Providence that focused on the historical side of the city. We got the chance to learn of local immigrant history and segregation around the city, plus see many historical buildings. Two tour guides gave us the "low-down" as we walked from 2-4p around Providence. At the end of our walk we were able sample authentic Portuguese food, pop and water that were selected especially for us! It was nice to sample new delicacies! The coolest part was our walk ended with an old-fashioned Trolley ride back to our hotel! I just love Trolleys!!

Once we returned, we quickly went to our hotel room to run a brush through our hair then head to the conference reception. The food looked delicious, however none was sampled by me after our Portuguese cuisine!! Now we are back in our hotel and looking forward to hitting up the bar later! WOOHOO!
