Starry Night: Stayin put
9/2/2010
Well, we're staying put in Salem for a few daysToday we took a trolly ride and visited the witch and pirate museumThe kids liked the pirate museumThe witch stuff is a bit sad, reallyIt's like a case report of what people are capale of doing to each other and how it can all get out of control.
Living back then must have been like living inside a serious gave of survivor, only when you were voted out, you were killed and all your land and possessions went to the state, destituting your family.
Definately not a happy place.
