The Travels of Eric and Lorna

Providence has a lot of cool street art. I'm not going to write a lot on these posts, but just throw up pictures, since I'm feeling lazy and no one reads this anyway.

 So more or less on a whim, we went to Rhode Island, specifically Providence, for our anniversary trip. Although it was a little early (seems like things really kick off in June) we really enjoyed it.  First off, we were able to take the Accella train up from Baltimore in less than six hours. A delightful trip. Every time I saw horrible traffic on I-95 out the window (which was often) I felt better and better about taking the train up. Arriving Saturday afternoon we had lunch and a drink at an Irish pub next to the hotel. Sunday took the Downcity Providence Food Tour by Rhode Island Red Food Tours. This was a great tour for the most part. Only one item on the tour wasn't good (a dessert item) but everything else was great. One of the places, Suya Joint, was so awesome we went back again. Providence has a lot of cool public art.  

As I think I mentioned, Lisbon seems to have a vibrant street art scene. I didn't take as many pictures as I should have, but here are the ones I can find. This list starts and ends with works by the amazing Bordalo 2.

Bordalo 2 is a famous Portuguese artist. I unfortunately only got to see two works, but next time I go to Lisbon I will have some kind of map of his pieces (or take a tour, perhaps) so I can see more. I wanted to see the Iberian Lynx sculpture but we didn't make it to that part of town.
