mshollie and I flew into Providence via Philidelphia. Modern American airline travel: Which is more fun, getting up at 4 am, or going through airport security now? Hard to say. We only encountered moderate delays, perpetually screaming toddlers, and coughing tb carriers. We got the car and enjoyed our first local treat: Dell's lemonaide (a sort of lemonaide slushy; apparently what they have instead of snow bliz up here) before interstating to the hotel. It turns out to be more in a suburb of New Bedford than Fall River. Must be one of the newer New Bedford suburbs, as Mr. Edison's light is installed with no whale oil lamps to be seen.
Tommorow, to Providence, where we plan to meet
kerri9494 for lunch, see the RISD Museum, then meet
jwgh.
