Jeanine and I travelled to Providence, RI to join friends Alex and Louanne McKenzie for a wonderful afternoon and evening. We started with a visit to see the Museum of the Moon, a 23ft diameter scale model of the moon featuring detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface.
Next we dined at Los Andes, a Peruvian restaurant where we enjoyed a truly epic meal. I find myself more often than not disappointed when dining at “fine” restaurants because Jeanine sets such a high bar with the food we eat everyday. Such was not the case this evening. The food was really spectacular. We made our way to the state capitol building where we found free parking and my first opportunity for an aerial photograph.
We walked from here down to the river where we secured seats for the evenings WaterFire performance which included ballet dancers, fire performance artists and numerous exhibits celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. I got to touch a meteorite fragment which landed on Earth after being ejected from the moon when it was struck by an asteroid.
