[Sunday 13 July]
Today was our 2nd foray into Rhode Island this trip.
After another leisurely morning over coffee in Douglas we headed south into Rhode Island about 1 pm. We had reservations to meet up with friends Andie and her mother Barbara at Bayberry Garden. Located on Dyer street in a complex of buildings dominated by Brown University's medical school, it was a short walk to one of my old offices.
It was a gorgeous day, sunny and a bit warm but a nice breeze along the Providence River.
The six of us were seated straightaway and we enjoyed warm conversation catching up over very good food and a pitcher of Mimosas.

After lunch the six of us walked across the street to browse the Sunday artists' market, which was in the throes of shutting down for the day. But it was nice to stroll along the river.

Eventually we had to hug and say goodbye -- until the next time we return to Providence!
Once back in the car the four of us meandered through the back streets of south Providence eventually popping into the parking lot of our old place on Federal Hill. Not much had changed it seemed but we didn't stop to chat with any of the residents. Time to head home.
That evening we had another delicious salad à la Dorothy, made with her home-grown lettuce, cuke, tomatoes, and leftover roasted potatoes and flank steak, all nicely diced up. A wonderful ending to a very fine day indeed.
