After getting here a couple days early due to miscommunication and a misleading website, Ali and I finally started our adventure yesterday. Stuffed into the rather large Brown University dorms (Emery Hall), we all have had a chance to say hi and call everyone by their icebreaker name. Mine was Acrobatic Alie... the choices were limited. We don't actually start biking till Sunday, so these days before that we have to go through those fun yet painful skits that act out the rules we need to abide by. You know what I'm talking about, it's a love-hate relationship. After a night out yesterday and a lovely breakfast at Loui's this morning, now we are off to our bike maintenance class (something I'm looking forward to since I know very little about bikes).
On Tuesday we had the whole day to explore Providence. Checked out the local mall (Yah!) and stopped by at the RISD store. Walking up and down Thayer Street, a cute strip that reminds me vaguely of Hawthorne Street in Portland, we stopped in a sweet shop where I found this amazing tank top.

PICK FLOWERS NOT FIGHTS!!!
After telling the store owner why we were in town, he was so impressed he showered us with complements, gave us two complementary bangle bracelets and left us with words of wisdom from a t-shirt saying. It was precious.
