The sister cities of Lafayette and West Lafayette are located along the Wabash river in nortwestern Indiana, approximately midway between Indianapolis Indiana and Chicago Illinois. The two cities together have a population of just under 100,000. Purdue University is a major cultural feature of the region, and during the summer and fall months there is always something going on in the community. There are a number of opportunities for outdoor recreation on and along the Wabash and its tributaries. The weather in late September is normally very plesant, with average highs in the low-70's (23 C), lows aroud 50 (10 C), and relatively little thunderstorm and tornado activity!
