Catch up posts: Towns 87-90 North Attleboro, Attleboro, Raynham, Seeking

We are posting our first set of towns (having already posted 96-300) so all of the towns we have visited are represented. As you can see from the pics these towns were early in the pandemic visits when we were still expected to mask up in Massachusetts walking outside. #87 North Attleboro's World War I Memorial Park, is the highest point in Bristol County at 390 feet above sea level. World War I Memorial Park features a petting zoo, a defunct ski hill and lift, and this mileage pole. Oh, and Bernie was there too....
Attleboro #88 is crossed by the 10 Mile River which flows downtown with a nice little river walk. There was a huge apartment building under construction right at the T stop in the background.
Raynham has the largest Thai Buddhist temple in the world outside of Thailand. In Raynham, Wat Nawamintararachutis (Thai: วัดนวมินทรราชูทิศ) is a working temple or "wat" and is one of only a handful of temples in the US with actual Thai Buddhist monks in residence.
In Seekonk we visited Audubon’s Caratunk Wildlife Refuge which is an interesting bird sanctuary. The open fields are filled with bluebird, swallow, and purple martin houses. All are numbered (for academic study) and protected with chicken wire entrances. Nice set of trails through the old farm.
