I couldn&#8217;t find anywhere to stay except this crappy place in the middle of no where.  Turns out that&#8217;s okay because nothing in Rhode Island is far from anything else in Rhode Island.  I was threatened by a guy with a baseball bat and fake Guy Fieri hair.  The RV was completely boxed in by a combat veteran&#8217;s motorcycle club, and while they were very helpful when it came time to leave, I was terrified I was going to accidentally knock over their bikes or something.  The beaches were nice.  Providence is a very unique and old feeling city.  Brown University is just kind of spread out across the whole city.  All in all I&#8217;m not a fan of Rhode Island, but it was worth a visit.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/img_5132.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3121\"  src=\"https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/img_5132-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/img_5132-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/img_5132-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/img_5132-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/wherey.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/img_5132.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Athen\u00e6um in Province.
