Check another one off the 30 list

Time for another check mark.  I rode a train.  I am in Boston visiting my brother.  I decide to take a day trip to Salem, MA.  The witches capital of the USA.  To get to the Massachusetts' town I took an hour train ride north to the hamlet of Salem.  The trip on the train was easy.  Only a couple of stops and I was in Salem.  

I loved the town.  The town is very interesting and it is just not for the witches and superstitions.  The town is a cute with a lot of nods to the witch trials.  I visited the Witch House which is a self guided museum to the Corwin family and the witch trials.  Judge Corwin was involved in the investigation and trials of the individuals accused of witchcraft.  

I also visited the House of Seven Gables which is the setting for Nathaniel Hawthorne's book of the same name.  The house is on a beautiful piece of property on the bay.  The house is a great example of historical architecture.  

Another first of my trip to Salem was my first lobster roll.  I found a great hole in the wall stop along the harbor.  Delicious.  Great food.  

Another great thing about Salem is the shopping.  A lot of tourist traps with witches t-shirts and toys but I love the little stores that are found throughout the town.  The town also has some wonderful consignment shops. I found a Missoni skirt for a steal.  

30 for 30 is going fine.
