Whatever it was that I expected from Providence, Rhode Island, it sure wasn't one hundred degrees of heat! That was what we got though, so you can imagine how delighted I was, after a long day of walking the steamy streets of Providence, to see the little message icon on my phone and hear the voice of Methost telling me that the crew had arrived from New York and the hospitality room was open. After a warm welcome and a cool beer, I set about associating names with faces and listening to the tales of their adventures so far. Too soon however, I had to take my leave to catch the last bus back to my hotel in Warwick - but not before a friendly shuttle bus driver claiming to be Bilbo had driven us all over to Hemenway's for some fabulous seafood and then come to pick us up when we were finished.
