Providence RI - Day 2

We left Hyannis continuing to traipse through Bob's childhood. Route 6 goes through Wareham, right past Bob's elementary school. Bob remembered the path he saw as a kid looking out the school bus windows. On to New Bedford where Bob used to get pastries and where his dad would buy the dreaded Sunday dinner lobster. We found our way to the Seaman's Bethel. It is the place of worship immortalized in Moby-Dick. When Bob and Karen got there, it was closed for renovations so they couldn't go in and see the bow shaped pulpit.

We are seeing larger houses than on the Cape, different architectures too. Most cabins on the outer Cape are very small as are many of the homes. Almost all of them are classic Cape Cod. Starting at mid Cape, some of the homes were larger but there were still lots of very tiny cabins.

We also stopped at Battleship Cove in Fall River. It has lots of WW II ships. All 3 of us walked around the grounds. It was great to stretch my legs. I couldn't go on any of the boats. There were lots of families with sleeping bags - turns out they let humans "camp" on board. How cool, wish I could. We spent the night in Seekonk MA on the east side of Providence RI.
