It is about that time of the year to pay tribute to anything spooky, witchy, dark and evil. A lot of kids will dress up like little monsters and witches. Thankfully we live in a society that will not do any harm to you for dressing like a witch. But just back a few hundred years ago they took it a bit too seriously and actually burned them alive, or so the history tells us.
The lake is drained to build a new dumb and what use to be the bottom of it is now wide banks of the creek. It looks pretty cool, this is how imagine it looks somewhere in African safari or Arizona desert after rain season when everything starting to dry up. Those cracks are about 10-12 inches deep and the closer you get to the creek, the softer it gets and I almost got sucked into one of them, they can look very deceiving.
We were in Salem, MA for about 3 hours and ventured out to take a look at this big boat. I think it is more like a museum now. On that gray cold day it was closed and there were no one around us at all. First we went to see the Witch Museum, well we didn’t go to see museum itself, just stopped in the gift shop for some witchy merchandise. I took a picture of the façade of the building and will publish it one day when I get around to it. You can pretty much walk to every interesting place in Salem and we walked from the Witch Museum to see this ship. Then we saw big brewery/restaurant and suddenly got thirsty. What could be better on a gray rainy day then having a good IPA with burger and fries, well there are things, but this was our choice and it was a good one.
