    I went on walks at Heritage State Park, which is enjoyable because it's near the water. The only thing I didn't enjoy was that there was an area under construction.

    I try to only drive when it is necessary, but Fall River isn't a walkable city, so I need to drive the majority of the time. I do enjoy taking walks sometimes, especially now that it's warmer out.
