Amy and Wendy collect me at the apartment - A final fitting for a wedding dress - collect Jane - off to Rhode Island
A holiday weekend is a holiday weekend - is a holiday weekend anywhere! - an entry ramp to an Expressway can be a parking lot anywhere - the entry ramp to the FDR Expressway IS a parking lot approaching the 4th July weekend - we slowly progress out of uptown Manhattan towards the New England Turnpike - ten lanes of traffic at the toll booth - she skillfully weaves the SUV from row 10 to row 1 just in time to take the New England exit - Amy has done this before!
The day cools and the humidity drops - the country side is green - pleasant - inviting - the flags are out - the red, white and blue signals the coming holiday.
Through the outskirts of Providence - more industrial than I remember it - on towards Tiverton - more rural than I expected - enter the waterside estate that Bowen's share with around 100 others - beautiful house - magnificent views over Mt Hope Bay towards Bristol and Newport.
