No Mystic Pizza for you

KWwwwwwww, wake up, it's time to leave.  CJ, please go back to sleep, I don't even think it is day light yet.  KW, WAKE UP now or you will be left behind.  OK tour guide, I'm getting up, but you would not leave me.  Who would do the blog?


OK, tour guide, lets get a move on.  We are packed and ready.

By the way tour guide, where are we heading today?  We are going to Mystic CT, Providence RI, then Waltham MA. for a couple of days. Oh yeah tour guide I forgot to mention last night that we were in a new state, CT.  I guess We can add two more today.


Now back to last nights mention of no space for me in the Jeep.  Take a look at these pictures.  As you can see the Jeep is full.  You have plenty of room.  Look behind you.  You can see through to the back.  So Mrs. tour guide cut down this trip?  Well, let's not go to that extreme KW.


He tour guide, how about we sit back here looking out at all the cars and trucks that go by.  I can give the "ole blow the air horn sign" to the truckers.

TTFN:

Roger Williams:
was a Puritan minister, English Reformed theologian, and Reformed Baptist who founded the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.  He was a staunch advocate for religious freedom, separation of church and state, and fair dealings with American Indians, and he was one of the first abolitionists.  Williams was expelled by the Puritan leaders from the Massachusetts Bay Colony for spreading "new and dangerous ideas", and he began settling the Providence Plantations as a refuge offering what he called "liberty of conscience" in 1636.  In 1638, he founded the First Baptist Church in America, also known as the First Baptist Church of Providence.  He was a student of Native American languages, and he organized the first attempt to prohibit slavery in any of the British American colonies.
