Решил сюда перенести фотки про поездку в Бостон и Роуд Айленд на весенних каникулах мелкой. Называются каникулы March Break - типа весенний перерыв. Всего неделя, потому на юг неохота гнать, поехали просто проветриться и протрястись по дороге.
А вот не знал я нифига, что:
"State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations" is the longest official name of any state in the Union. On June 25, 2009, the General Assembly voted to allow the people to decide whether to keep the name or drop "and Providence Plantations" due to the misperception that the name related to slavery.[15] The referendum election was held on this subject during the November 2, 2010 elections, and the people overwhelmingly (78% to 22%) voted to keep the original name.[16]
