So after a lovely stay in Connecticut we traveled to Jim Ryczek’s humble abode in Road Island for an interview. He heads a homeless coalition and has heart full of compassion for the poor. After our inspirational chat with this amazing man; we journeyed to New Port and Jamestown. They were both ocean front, and filled with quaint historical sites. Our visit included exploring the fisherman wharfs, investigating an old lighthouse, and of course playing frisbee. After our sea faring excursion, we moved on north towards Massachusetts to stay with James, a Messiah student and friend who happens to live really really close to thee….dun dun dun….Plymouth Rock. Driving to Plymouth filled us with excitement as we awaited viewing the rock of all rocks. Well, we did see the rock, but it was quite small, and probably only five pilgrims could stand on it at one time, but historians claim that the rock today is one third the size of what it was when the puritans stepped off the Mayflower. Tomorrow we head for Boston, shall be fun!
