Providence

I had a great time last weekend in Providence. My daughter drove her new car, Sallie Mae ~

We started Saturday morning at a farmers' market that surpassed any indoor market I've ever had the pleasure to visit. Located in an old mill, just inside the entrance is a great hall where you can buy coffee, maple syrup, baked goods, and chowder. In the hallway, just beyond the windows, were dozens of vendors of every type of food you can imagine, books, jewelry, candy, and violins ~

Speaking of violins ~

Downtown we lunched on black bean wraps and salad ~

And walked along the Basin ~

Where throughout the spring and summer, on designated evenings, braziers set on fire will fill the area with light during WaterFire ~

We ended the day with live music by The Superchief Trio [a five-piece band] to celebrate the release of their latest CD. Great swing music with a jazzy flair ~

Thanks to our hostess, Katie, for a wonderful weekend. There is a lot to do in Providence, and Ken and I are planning a trip to enjoy WaterFire and some of that Providence culture.
