Our second week in The States - New England

We left Wilmington, Pennsylvania, on a Shinkansen-like fast train and arrived about 5 hours later at Providence, Rhode Island. We were greeted by Mario's friend, John, who was once studying for a few weeks at Taishoen bonsai nursery in Japan quite a few years ago.

The next day we went to New England Bonsai Garden in Massachusetts and Mario was back to work again!

Next up, NYC...

Some ribs??

We ordered this much on purpose so we could have lunch the next day! Also a great thing about the restaurants we went to is that they always offer the leftovers to be boxed up to take home!
