Providence, Rhode Island

Hey everyone.
I'm on a 30 hour layover in Providence, Rhode Island. My flight got in late but I was still able to go and see the town's famous Fire Water. I will post some pictures when I get back to NJ. But, it was really beautiful, the floating firepits on the water with ecclectic music playing over a loudspeaker.

I heard there was an amazing local bookstore here, so I'll be setting off in search of it tomorrow.
These last two days flying have been interesting. Lots of crazy people and funny anecdotes. Overhead bins flying open on landings. A women who wouldn't wake up at deboarding -- even after shaking for a full minute! (She had a pulse and eventually woke up, and we found out she does this everytime she flies!) Insane Red Sox fans heading to Denver.
Must be the full moon.
But on my last flight I got to go into the flight deck for a moment and the captain turned off all the lights so that I could see all of the stars. Ever since I was a kid and had high aspirations to be an astronaut, I've always wanted to see this view. Spotted Orion!
