Wendy went to a small accountancy firm which was recently merged with four other firms. She was welcomed by a welcome sign and had a tour around the firm - which is now paperless... Erin approved, and Wendy is going to try it in her office - which Erin also approves of!! She went to Fat Belly for lunch and then hitched a ride back in a convertible!
Louise B was on tour with the Rhode Island State troopers. A busy day for the troopers as they had 24 members of the local Rhode Island mafia locked up in the cell block!! Louise N headed to RIPTA - the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority and learned about what they were doing for public transport, walking, cycling and car share. Although she left slightly flabbergasted at the $100 million annual budget! Folks back home will be in shock too she imagines!
Erin went to the Mass Resource and Recovery Park to see what happens to all the waste being recycled and collected in all of the State. Its nice to see good practice is happening here as well as back home!
Ian went to a Mental Health office to see about mental health first aid which he is hoping to put in to practice back home.
Thank you to everyone again!
Unfortunately Friday was also the day that we had to say goodbye to all of our families who had hosted us for the week. Louise N is going to try and make a concerted effort at the next exchange not to get teary again!!
That evening we had a lovely meal together at the Bluefin restaurant at the Marriott hotel where we are staying for our free weekend.
Hi Guys,
ReplyDeleteGood to see that after your 'leisurely' start you are all right into the busy schedule of vocationals and talks to clubs.
You certainly seem to be having a whale of a time (excuse the pun!!)
You lucky dogs! - I really wish I was with you!!!
I reckon Ian may need to use his mental health first aid refresher by the end of the month, by this rate.
Have fun, stay safe.
