on my way to NYC

riding the intarwebz on the bus. new experience I have to say. 
I am going to meet up with my sister and my friend Felix and we are going to spend the weekend in the city. 
the last couple of days were pretty busy. my research project is a lot of work already but it is very exciting and I am happy I can spend time with work I enjoy.
last weekend I had to find out that my trivial pursuit skills are far from perfect, especially when it comes to American history and entertainment and that Lowell is actually a pretty nice day-trip destination, even though Jack Kerouac's grave is pretty hard to find under all this snow. Actually we weren't able to find it at all, but looking at a detailed map of the graveyard later that day we figured we must have been pretty much standing on his tombstone, which is more lying on the ground sort of. I hope he didn't mind...
ok the connection seems to be to slow to upload any pictures at this point... I'll take care of that once I'm in NYC.
stay tuned.

I can tell other people were there... probably looking for his grave, too


... no grave, but a piece of paper instead. Just as good!


former mills, now waterfront loft-apartments
