Lowell, Mass.

Last July my sister Sara and I visited Lowell, Massachusetts more or less on a whim, while heading for the Atlantic coast.  It's an old (c1820s) industrial town which was also the hometown of one of my literary heroes, Jack Kerouac.  The whole town is now a National Park, commemorating its role in the industrial revolution. We had a good time wandering around and checking out various museums and memorials-- and I even ran into a former student who works there as a park ranger!  A very nice morning overall, even despite the intermittent rain.
