Around Town

Here are some images of around town and Salem.

So this is a cute street that was on the South End of Boston in the Polish community area. Our Hotel/Motel was right around the corner and we passed by here every day on our way to the Subway System.

This is a picture of the inside of the Subway, pointing us to the Red Line. We didn't have a rental, so we walked and used the mass transit system. I must say it was pretty awesome. I'm sure that it was quite obvious we were out of towners, but by the time we left... we had it down ;)

In addition to the Subway, I rode a train for the first time! It's weird to say, me being 27... but I do live in Utah ha ha. We took the train out to Salem for a walk around the town. For those of you who don't know, Salem was made known for Witch Trials. Anyone could be accused of being a witch, after which they would be sent to trial where they were almost always sentenced to a holding period in the dungeon before being put to death.

We hit the Dungeon Museum that was a replica of what the actual dungeons looked like. That was the only museum we ended up going to, it just seemed like going to a spook ally, not a real museum.

This is Mom, the newly accused witch in town. The sunshine ball is for my friend Toni, she owns her own coffee shop and sends out her little sunshine with her customers that vacation.


After a walk around town visiting shops and having lunch. We decided to take the Salem Ferry back to Boston Harbor. I took some pictures of the Salem Harbor and some from the boat. Enjoy!
