Logging

Day 8 - Jog in the morning around Providence.  See RISDY.  See Brown.  See the river.  Learn our hotel Biltmore is one of the historic hotels of America.  Cool.  Too bad they gave us the handicapped room.  Grab Dunkin Donuts coffee and bfast.  Pick up jacket left at restaurant.  Drive past RI state capitol building.  Providence is an interesting place - it seemed to be designed as a BIG city, an important city.  Maybe it was at one time.  Obviously, it isn't now.  But there are a disproportionate number of statues and monuments and majestic type of architecture around town.  I like it.

Hit the road toward Cape Cod.  Arrive in Brewster.  The Cape a larger area than I realized.  Spread out.  need a car. Nice B&B.  Hit up a wine tasting.  Not great.  Head over to a lighthouse.  Very cool.  Links golf course right around the lighthouse.  Gorgeous.  Climbed to the top.  Heard the tour.  Looked out on water toward Portugal and Nova Scotia and saw an army base that used to be part of the early warning system of Soviet Nukes.

Drive past drive-in movie theater.  Check it out.  Don't show movies past labor day.  Other local theater last shows during the week at 730pm.  Won't make it because we need to eat dinner first.

Local Seafood spot.  Red and white checkered table cloths.  Clam chowder and fried scallops.  Back to the relaxing B&B to catch up on some work, etc.  They left out brownies.  B&Bs.
