Week #45 11/4/12-11/11/12

The capital of Rhode Island is Providence.

Roger Williams settled and founded Providence in 1636 as a religious exile of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.  It is one the largest cities in all of New England today.

Physical: 10 pop ups

Personal: Walk to the end of the Kure Beach and Carolina Beach Piers.

Result:  I sometimes forget how lucky I am to live by the ocean.  I really enjoyed this challenge.  On Monday, I took a 2 mile "beach walk" down to the Kure Beach Pier.  It was actually a bit farther than it looked.  The fish really run in November, so it was interesting to see all of the fisherman on the shore and their catch.  I took the picture from the shore end of this pier.  As much as I have surfed by this pier, it was only the second time I had walked on it.
 
On Friday night, I walked to the end of the Carolina Beach Pier.  I drove to this one.  There were a lot of fisherman on the pier and I got to see a couple of catch being landed.  The interesting part of this pier was when I got towards the end, there was a severe slant on the right side of the pier.  There was a "warning" sign that you can see below.  I walked to the end anyway.  I closed my eyes and could feel the slight sway of the pier.  I took the picture below from the far ocean side of this pier.
