Greg & I had a great time in Providence these past few days. I met a lot of people at my work conference and learned some interesting things. We stayed at the Providence Biltmore which was amazing! Wednesday evening we had steak and seafood at McCormick & Schmicks and then took a walk around downtown to burn off some of the calories. A few pictures...
The capitol building
Downtown as they were setting up for the waterfire (our hotel is in the back right)
As soon as it started getting dark, people began to collect along this river awaiting the famous Providence waterfire. Here are a couple videos from the evening. It started raining as they were lighting the fires, so we didn't get the best video of all the flames. It was a neat idea. The music was interesting, a strange mix of eclectic and classical. Providence has done a great job making their downtown a special place to hang out in the evenings.
Waiting, waiting, waiting for the fire
The flame twirler man...
Fire, water, and rain...
And here's what I found on the desk in our hotel room one afternoon. Do you think he was tired of studying Hebrew?
Pretty good self-portrait though
Last but not least, we completely enjoyed listening to the new Coldplay album while on the road! I would definitely recommend it!

Greg -- what a voice! I can't believe they hired you so quickly to do the Fire, Water, and Rain segment for them. (And here I was praying that you would accomplish a lot on your Hebrew these past three days, but instead you were out there singing!)
You two find the most interesting events there in New England; thanks for sharing with us.
