Oh the places you’ll go

Here are a few notes on some of the places I’ve been recently.



Providence:
One of the first places I did an overnight in was Providence Rhode Island. It’s a beautiful place to fly into; everything is sooo green, and I don’t mean they that muted olive green you see in most places I mean really green; it’s the kind of green that contains far more blue than yellow and makes all other foliage look fake. To top it all of the whole area right along the coast. The weather has been perfect every time I’ve been there and the beach was amazing. I don’t like I’ve seen so many sail boats in one place in my life. It was truly magical. The East Coast accent was alive and well and the way they said “straw” was super entertaining to me. For anyone from Rhode Island or anywhere close by I have just one question for you; what’s up with clam cakes? Everyone was raving about them and don’t get me wrong they were fine but to me they just tasted like fried bread with a very faint fishy after taste. Hey if anyone can enlighten me as to why they are so amazing by all means feel free to do so.

Austin:
I can’t even imagine living in Texas it’s just too hot and humid, seriously! Every time I’ve been there isn’t been 95 degrees plus. However, I did quite enjoy historic 6th street. Every building was so amazingly restored that they all bored some resemblance to the Alamo. We took the bus downtown and got to see all the cute little neighborhoods getting into the cities as well. Apparently Austin is not a very popular place to live in the winter (not that I blame them); but, if you thought you could bear the heat or at least got really good air conditioning you could get killer rent in the summer. All along the bus route we saw advertisements for apartment complexes and rentable houses that offered free rent for the summer with a 12 month lease or 299 for a 3bedroom apartment for the first 6 months. WOW now that would be nice! I was a little disappointed when I found out that no one in Austin really has that true southern accent.
