At our pick up point we were met by Roger Williams (aka Santa, aka John!) complete with puritannical 17th Century costume who took us to East Greenwich Town Hall and told us of his place in Rhode Island history. This was followed by tour of the Varnum House museum and a talk.
Lunch was with East Greenwich Rotary Club where we pleased to see Betsy, John, Jim and Donna - two of our host families.
In the afternoon, despite the chilly weather, and much to everyones bemusement we went out to Narraganset Bay - cant keep a good Scots GSE team down! We were pretty familiar with the weather since its our average day in Scotland! It did clear up whilst we were out, and we enjoyed cakes and drinks in the sunshine, but it was pretty rough coming back in!
Wendy and Louise N joined Ian, John and Donna for dinner - which was lovely. We then met up with everyone at friends of Jim and Janets where we ate cake, sat around a firepit and ended up singing scouting songs!! Fun, but slightly strange. Louise N has a ransom video!!
HI Guys,
ReplyDeleteGood to learn that things are going well and your vocational days have been worthwhile (pity about Ian's request to concentrate on scouting seems to have been largely ignored!) Thinking of your this weekend - hope the Conference goes well, if you see Martha, tell her Bob would love to come and sample her wine some thime!
