Salem The City of Witches

Only just North of Boston we are ashore at Salem, famous for it's trial of witches in the 17th century. We saw lots of witches and even more witch T shirts.

Our first stop was The House of The Seven Gables the house made famous by the book of the same name by Nathaniel Hawthorne. This was a great place to visit as a historic home in addition to the literary connection. It indeed has 7 gables but couldn't work out how to get a photograph of them all in the one shot.For some odd reason they enforce a no photo rule inside.

As we walked we came to the Maritime area. This was once the busiest sea port in America. They have lots of memorabilia from the days of sail.

                                                         Two of the best ships around!

It was approaching halloween and there  was every imaginable thing associated with witches and witchcraft.  Lots more pumpkins, black cats and psychics everywhere.

    Wouldn't you just grow up to be a witch and/or kill your parents if you were inflicted with a name like Hepzibah?

    I'd love to go there. I was always fascinated by the Salem Witch trials.

    I suspect an aerial shot is your only bet to get all 7 gables in.
    I would love to visit there too.
