// PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND (shots from my phone)

Five things I learned while spending some time in the Northeast a couple weeks back:

1. Brown University is just a nice, nice place.
2. Au Bon Pain is an excellent place to eat. I had never heard of such a place before.
3. My beloved Indian food is nearly as good there as here in Lawrence.
4. The weather makes me want to move straight there, right away.
5. Having a McCormick & Schmick's in your hotel is an AWESOME (and equally bad) thing.

And of course, as holds true with most places I go, I found plenty of things of which to take pictures. (And apparently, most of my life revolves around food, as three of the above points show.)
