This morning I hopped on the train for the first leg of the journey to Zuckerland North. BA and Danny picked me up in Brooklyn, and off we went.
The first thing I have to say is that it was very nice to not have to drive. I lounged in the back with a couple of comfy pillows and even dozed off for a bit, which Danny apparently caught on film. When I woke up, we were getting off the highway and driving through Kingston. Not bad at all.
We went in through Newport this time because we wanted to stop for chowder at the Black Pearl. Conveniently, the Aquidneck Lobster Company is right there also, so we picked up Pinchy for dinner. After the world's best chowder and grabbing some wine and other dinner fixins, we decided to take the traditional drive down the Esplanade. For those of you in attendance at the Zuckerland nuptials, this may look familiar to you.
Then we took Danny to see the Purgatory Chasm (ask him about it, the word "crevasse" will most likely be used) and headed to the house. We watched some TV and had some snacks and then the main course was served.
All in all, it was a very good first day. Stay tuned for more briny adventures tomorrow!
