My old friend (since first grade) John kept inviting me to visit him in Providence and I finally made it! My friend George accompanied me. We had a great time. John was a superb host and tour guide.
We stayed at the B & B of John's friend Annie. It was a lovely place.

There was a lot of interesting architecture in Providence. Below you will see some examples.
Roger Williams founded the first Baptist Church in America.
We visited the museum of the Rhode Island School of Design. It is considered the second best university museum in the U.S. (Harvard is first and the U of Mich is third.)
Below you will see some of the objects in the Decorative Arts section.

And be the lintel blest -
And bless the hearth and bless the board
And bless each place of rest -
And bless the crystal windowpane that lets the
sunlight in
And bless each door that opens wide, to stranger as
to kin.
Always good friends, John and Chris
