An interesting visit to the Salem Witch Museum.....two things I did not know about the witch hunt of 1692....first, there was actually no one burned at a stake. They were hung and one man crushed. The other interesting and sad fact is that the whole thing was brought on by a couple of young girls playing a joke.....20 people died and several jailed for long periods of time.
About half way through our walk, we found an excellent coffee house, so stopped for a break.
A walk along the wharf.....like a watercolor. 
A stop at the Salem Maritime museum....
The cobblestone and brick walks....Downtown is filled with gift shops full of all kinds of books on witchcraft, spells and history. Also lots and lots of witch "stuff"..........
Tomorrow, I am giving Salt the day off!! We are taking the train into Boston so he doesn't have to fight the traffic and can relax. Will be a busy couple of days, as Boston has so much to offer!!!
As I type I am watching "Ghost Hunters"....they are at the Most Haunted House in the US (decided by a contest they held). It is just a few miles from us on the St. Lawrence River (Isle of the Pines) which is a privately owned island. So cool.....lots of paranormal activity.
