No, I wasn’t lost, thankfully. But somewhere around the quaint city of Hopkinton, my stomach took a turn for the worse.
Having been a food critic for years, I know food poisoning. It’s an occupational hazard, that thankfully, I’ve only experienced three times. This wasn’t food poisoning.
Yet maybe those sweet potato fries were a bad idea with two more hours of driving in front of me. I stopped in Hopkinton to take a picture of the town’s Civil War Memorial. Being from the South, I’m used to seeing these with Confederates atop the pedestal, which is probably as jolting to visiting Northerners as this one was to me. Pretty park, though.
