A crisp not-too-cold day was the perfect time to check out the Capital city of Rhode Island- a place I usually avoid like the DMV. I like BEING in a city once I am there, I just don't like the whole trying to figure out where to drive and park part, but since it was a quiet morning I decided to take a go at it for a nice solo trial run. I parked up on the hill between RISD and Brown and made my way down to Westminster Street where I was told there would be some really cool shops. I poked around the antique shops, the Providence Arcade and all the quirky crafty stores before heading back to the RISD museum, which I visited many years ago, but I wanted to check out some of the contemporary exhibits. My last stop was the Providence Athenaeum- a super cool old library that I felt too intimidated to actually look at any books. Since I was all alone and many of the eateries looked like places that I would feel strange getting a table for one- I kept my trip to a short half-day excursion. I drove home with a new warm mustard colored winter hat and a growling stomach and a better sense of how to navigate the city.
