Salem Drive....

After our fulfilling visit to Hammond's Castle, it was time to drive down the south coast to Salem. The drive alternated between woods and coastline with magnificent houses either nestled in the woods or jutting out onto the water. We were in no rush so we took our time going down the coast. When we arrived at Salem, we decided to stop and visit the town and take a moment to wet our whistles. We were parched.

Salem is famous for the witch trials and since the advent of tourism they have been capitalizing on those witches everywhere you look. Every bock seems to have a museum, shop, bookstore, and tee shirts dedicated to the macabre. A nice setting for a Stephen King novel. It was a great day to walk as the weather was perfect with no humidity. We took a nice long walk with the only thing we went inside to see was an iconic bookstore. We made it to the Hawthorne Hotel and stopped for a drink...

Afterwards as we are walking, we pass a tattoo parlor where Bill proclaims his wish to always want to get a tattoo. I said Bill do me a favor, if you get a tattoo get it when you are hanging out with Rick or Tom not on my watch. This way Martha or Bronwyn have to deal with their guys. He laugh and said "those daughters."

Town Hall where it all might have begun.

Bill and I are respected here and for good reason.....
