DAY #9

PROVIDENCE, RI

My intent was to take a walking tour of Providence this morning.  However, it was raining, so I drove by the State Capitol to snap a photo.


The State Capitol is constructed of white Georgian marble with one of the top four self-supported marble domes in the world.



Then I went with Plan B and drove to Newport.

NEWPORT, RI


This is the oldest operating tavern in America.


They were open for Sunday Brunch.
The dining room had wooden beams in the ceiling.
I had a bowl of clam chowder and eggs benedict with potatos and coffee.
The tables had linen tablecloths with lighted candles.
Excellent food and very elegant.



After lunch I took a short walking tour of Newport.

Newport City Hall


Shopping Area




Newport Jail House Inn


Mid afternoon I drove to Cape Cod.

Hyannis, MA


Hyannis Walking Path to the Marina


Memorial Park overlooking the marina


Marina


Hyannis Church



I had dinner here. Pizza and Samual Adams beer.

The owner lived in San Francisco in the 1980's and owned a restaurant in North Beach.
We talked 49er's and Giants.
He was a Joe Montana fan.


Another fun day.
