#tbt it's #NationalLobsterRollDay and having just got back from Maine we stopped into a few new places to see how they measured up- always fun! (#CapeNeddick Lobster Pound is a new favorite) . . This #throwbackthursday pic is from the fishing village of Galileo, #RhodeIsland where you can buy your catch straight of the boat. This gentleman called us aside to show off this prize #Lobster that had just arrived. Huge! . . . #igersnewengland #igersri #gallileeri #newenglandcoast #newenglandtravel #igersrhodeisland #foodies #instafoodies #foodstagram (at Galilee, Rhode Island)

The Ladd Observatory on Doyle Avenue, #Providence Rhode Island. . . Dedicated in 1891, the Ladd #Observatory serves the #astronomical needs of Brown University. A young #Lovecraft befriended the director Professor Upton and was often given access to the building. . . You too can visit the Observatory to look at the stars above, they hold an open house each Tuesday night depending on the weather (closed on cloudy nights)- it's best to check their Twitter @LaddObs the afternoon of a planned trip- they update the status of the open house each Tuesday afternoon. . . . . #Astronomy #ProvidenceRI #Science #ScienceBlogger #Travel #IgersNewengland #IgersRi #roadtrip #astrophysics (at Ladd Observatory)

#Ontheroad in Providence, Rhode Island this afternoon looking for #lovecraft, art, and #craftbeer on an afternoon #roadtrip from Boston. . . First stop, East #ProvidenceRI for a peak at Pomham Rocks Lighthouse just offshore from the East Bay Bikepath along the Providence River. . . This 40 foot just 200 yards offshore began operation in 1871. While it's a cold morning- doesn't seem quite cold enough for a walk over on the ice as some early keepers were known to do . . #igersnewengland #igersri #rhodeisland #travelblog #travelblogger #lighthouses #newengland (at Pomham Rocks Light)

The World War Monument, #ProvidenceRI, rises high above Jackson-Gardner Park and was dedicated in Armistice Day 1929. Originally installed a few blocks North, the monument was moved to make way for the Providence River that runs through the heart of downtown. #igersnewengland #igersri #hipstamatic (at World War I Monument)

The #Buddha Mahavaoirocana at the @risdmuseum, Providence RI. Made from eleven hollowed out pieces of wood it is the largest Japanese wooden sculpture on display in the US. #igersri #providenceri #risd #museumstagram (at RISD Museum)

"I Am Providence", a bust of #Providence's own #HPLovecraft who lived nearby the Antheneum on College street and was a frequent visitor. . . Long time #roadtripnewengland followers may remember our "Searching for Lovecraft" roadtrip from very early on in our project- those interested in #Lovecraft will find many sights of interest in Providence and around New England- many of the settings in his stories are pseudonyms for actual sites. . . #authors #iamprovidence #bookstagrammer #igersri #igers #travelbloggers #igersnewengland (at The Providence Athenæum)
