June 22nd 2019: A Day of Providences

I started off today in the town of Smithfield RI, going for a hike at the Mowry Conservation Area, where the path I took is shown below in pink.

Semi decent falls at the dam area,

But nothing much more.

Next, the Connors Farm Conservation Area, where the path I took is shown below in pink.

Once again, other than views of the pond,

nothing much here otherwise.

Next, it was back to Georgiaville Pond to find the dam which eluded me the last time around. Good thing I got it this time.

Next, it was on to the Captain Stephen Olney Park in North Providence RI,

then Providence RI itself,

getting drenched from the intermittent thunderstorms, and going on a hike at James V Turner Reservoir, where the path I took is shown below in pink.

nice views of the dam

and the reservoir.

My next hike was at the Hunt's Mills area, where the path I took is shown below in pink.

Beautiful dam,

but nothing much else.

With that, I called it a day for sightseeing, heading first to the Sip N Dip Donuts location in town,

going for a delicious French Cruller,

and getting a Boston Cream for free as a result.

Next, I went nearby to Campino's, a small Portuguese restaurant in town.

I decided to get the Sopa a Portuguesa (Portuguese soup, vegetable soup with chourico, meat, kidney beans and elbow pasta)

and the Camarao Grelhado (grilled jumbo shrimp in a fiery sauce with lemon, butter, beer and basil) .

The soup was just alright, although the sauce for the fresh and juicy shrimp was pretty tasty after a long day without food.

Finally, for dinner, we decided to check out Noodle Hut, a new Chinese restaurant specializing in noodles in Waltham.

We had seasoned roasted peanuts for starters,

and ordered the Spicy Eight Jewel

and the Sichuan Wonton in Chili Sauce.

Interesting flavors, and pretty satisfying overall. Might be worth a second visit to try their other offerings.
