October 2, 2018:
Mark and Paula Persons headed to Salem, MA, on a 30 minute train ride. Along the way they met interesting passengers like this lady who rides a bike rather than driving in Boston and Salem. |
 |
 |
|
They were greeted in Salem by people dressed as they would back in the 1600s
when the witch trials were going on. |
 |
 |
|
Salem is a busy city during Halloween. Visitors gather there to be scared
and soak up the witch atmosphere. |
 |
|
They put people in stockades too. |
 |
|
Yes, the city was getting ready for Halloween. |
 |
|
Homes in the area look the part. |
 |
|
Salem, MA, is also a seaport with the Peabody Essex Museum telling of its
history. A 12 foot long scale model of the Queen Elizabeth is there for visitors to admire. |
 |
|
This 15th century sailing ship looks ready to go. |
 |
 |
 |
| There was also an exhibit on Chinese art. Very well done. |
Quote of the day:
Lots to see in Salem. Mark
