Point of Entry – I-195 near Providence
I was the last one to arrive at the staff gathering. My flight there departed Baltimore after dark, though it was mid-November so it wasn't late at all.
I was working the swing shift so my body was used to going to sleep around 2 a.m. When we pulled up to the dormitory style housing around 10 p.m., everyone else was already in bed and I couldn't find a room where I could turn on a light and read without waking everyone up.
So my first memories of Massachusetts involved me walking the dark, abandoned, chilly streets of Onset trying to wind down in order to get to bed.
That walk set the pattern for my Massachusetts memories with a series of great walks:
-Walking the freedom trail through Boston.
-Walking by the shore on Cape Cod.
-Walking the fascinating streets of Lowell.
-Walking back in time at Plimoth Plantation.
-Walking through the early 60s at the JFK Library and Museum.
There are lots of other walks, big and small, that I'd like to take in Massachusetts. I look forward to going back to stroll the state again.
