My initial impression of Rhode Island after spending one night at the airport and driving through Providence today is that it is beautiful. I am thrilled to see all the trees in bloom, but what I like best is the friendly people. The front desk at my Best Western airport hotel gave me a lender umbrella and sent me to a great bar and grill across the street. I appreciated that it was a local, not a chain, business with excellent service and cuisine. My giant meal of ravioli and pink sauce with salad was only ten bucks. It was totally pleasant and flavorful. After my brief experience I feel very welcome in the area. I drove through the state to reach Cape Cod and found a new reason to love Rhode Island. They have a wonderful system of roads and today there was NO traffic on them. Forsythia, magnolia, and azaleas in bloom, and water everywhere make this place a fantasy land for me. I look forward to learning more about Rhode Island and the Providence Plantations. Now I am enjoying the Atlantic Ocean and the friendly folks on Cape Cod. Tomorrow we party.
