We got there a little early, and our gondolier let us sit in the boat while he did some final prep... like getting us cheese and crackers, and opening the tiny bottle of wine we'd brought.
It was also Asa's debut in his Baby Björn... I think he liked it, since he slept for the whole ride.
We paddled down the Providence River almost to the head of Narragansett Bay, just as the sun was setting...
...and then back up the river to Waterfire Place.
The gondolier slowed us down under a couple of the bridges, to sing to us in Italian. Fabulous voice, fabulous acoustics. Such a neat experience.
So... who wants to come visit?
How beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou two are just a hair too new at this and still too besotted. For romantic Gondola rides, you're supposed to get a sitter!!! Oh well... he looks adorable in his Baby Bjorn!
ReplyDeleteActually, water activities seemed particularly appropriate to our little knot-tying sailor. We do promise to get a sitter for our anniversary, though.
