Salem

This past weekend, Brent and I went to Salem, Massachusetts on a little day trip. College is boring during the day, seriously. Anyway, it was a lot of fun even though the town was really dead. There were seriously hardly any people walking around.

Salem Witch Museum (we looked around the gift shop but didn't take the museum tour):

Statue (there was another statue of Samantha from "Bewitched" but I unfortunately didn't get a picture of it):

Some important house... I don't remember:

Squirrel under a bench:

I don't know what kind of bird this is, but it was making car alarm noises which was weird:

Old advertising on the bricks:

Brent:

Creepy Voodoo dolls:

Some building:

I don't know what this is:

London Coffee House:

Brent outside of Red's Sandwich Shop where we ate brunch:

Red's had delicious food and is apparently rated in a bunch of different publications as a "local gem," etc.

I liked the little cream container:

Creepy picture of Brent:

Cute picture of Brent:

Brent on a bench (he humors me with a lot of useless pictures):

The Broom Closet:

A hideous picture of me with a broom:

Derby Square Bookstore:

I'm sure you can see the stacks of books through the windows.... It was actually terrifying. Brent walked in and jumped when some man sitting behind the "counter" who was peeking through a little tiny opening in the stacks of books said hi to him. Anyway, here are more pictures:

Funny sign:

Me as a witch:

Brent as a witch:

Salem Witch Village:

I made Brent pretend to be climbing up the ladder with the pirates:

Brent and I went to the Pirate Museum because Brent loves pirates. Here are the pictures I took:

The Burying Point:

Wow, I have way too many graveyard pictures. Here's a map of the graveyard:

And zoomed in for those of you who care:

Hawthorne's wife's house:

Cool building:

Last graveyard picture, I promise:

Town Hall:

Cool door:

Horse-drawn carriage:

Brent and I got extremely lost on the way home from Salem and somehow ended up in Marblehead, MA where my dad grew up! Here are some pictures of Marblehead:
