Back to Lawrence

I could not resist the temptation of returning to Lawrence - a collegiate town (a city in USA parlance) that is funky and cool.  On a bright, sunny Saturday afternoon, the buskers were out in force on Massachusetts Street, the main thoroughfare of Lawrence, playing a variety of musical instruments.  There is something whimsical when a shop owner proudly announces that he/she is selling "old hippie" merchandise.
