Hey everyone,
This is my first night in Providence. Josh and I moved in around 2:30 today. I really like our roommate Christie she seems pretty cool. Our first experience in Providence was interesting. We pulled off I-95 to see a car on fire and a cop arresting a guy in handcuffs. Honestly that was a shock, its really not something you expect to see in the south.
Last night we got to my Aunt's house in Connecticut around 1:10 am. We had a horrible drive through D.C. in which we got stuck in traffic for almost 5 hrs. Otherwise we had a relatively good drive. We stayed with my Aunt last night. She was wonderful. We got a good night's sleep and a good breakfast and lunch. She also showed me around Stonington near where she lives. We may stay with her when we go to the beach.
The house itself is pretty cool. Really beautiful hardwood floors and lots of windows. Josh and I have adjoining rooms. My room has an old dresser, a twin bed (with an air mattress), and a nightstand. I haven't gotten fully moved in yet. I'm not sure if I will before I go to the island. I'm really excited about going to Kinneho Island on Lake Winnipeasukee.
So far tonight I've only unpacked the car and some of my clothes. We made dinner together (Christie, Josh and I). It was really yummy. We sauteed onions, squash, eggplant, green beans, and some garlic (always garlic) with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar with a french batard with herbs and a bottle of white wine.

Oh god, driving through DC can be a nightmare -- nothing like a diamond shaped city with traffic circles to confuse you. Sounds like you're settling in, I'd swap the air mattress for an ikea upgrade pronto!
good luck,
Sean
Wow 5 hrs in DC. That's crazy. I'm glad you two got there safe an sound. I guess Providence was giving you an official welcome with the car on fire :-P As long as you live in that area then you're fine :-)
