Travelogue, Chapter Three -- Conclusion

I left off at Wednesday evening, having just enjoyed some top-notch Asian food and with plans to explore Providence a little more the next day... This chapter of my travelogue will conclude the set, as I have at this point returned to my dorm room.

My exploration of Providence on the 24th went very well; I visited the Sciences Library as well, and compiled a list of interesting books to look into later. I then walked the length of Angell Street until I reached South Angell Street and its own neighborhood, Wayland, where I got some tasty cookies. I had checked out of my room at the Bed & Breakfast by that point, so I carried a full backpack, and this served to tire me out quite satisfactorily through the course of the day.

I took the train to New London in the evening, and took a ferry across to Orient Point, where my relatives picked me up; the ferry trip was rather unpleasant, but it saved me an insignificant amount of money, and reminded me of why I choose comfort over speed. Nonetheless, I was exhausted by the time I got to the house, and fell asleep early.

The next day, I took care of some cosmetic appointments and spent the majority of the day relaxing with the cats. Time well spent, I daresay.

On Saturday I went to New York City with my sister, having promised her that I would bring her to the bookstore we'd gone to in the past, and we did that; we also went to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, to visit the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden as requested by a professor of mine. It was a decent enough trip, but I had a headache by the time I got there and the noise of people did not help. My headache continued for the next twelve hours, approximately, despite my efforts to sleep it off, so that I was in a bad state for most of the night that night.

I woke up this morning (the 27th) around eight and relaxed a little bit longer before getting to the airport for my flights. These went well, but I was glad they were not at cost to my wallet, else I would have taken the train and returned earlier. A thunderstorm accompanied my arrival in Indiana, and this pleased me greatly; but it was short-lived, and by the time I returned to my dorm room and my large computer, the air was once again dry.

Tomorrow will begin another several weeks of work and school, and that will likely mean another long absence. I don't yet know.
