Day 4-looking for witches

Day 4 we drove to Salem, Massachusetts to visit the infamous place where people were put to death for being witches. It was pretty cool, and informative. Sherie and I learned a lot...Not just about the trials, but about the area in general.

We visited two museums which gave pretty detailed information about the witch trials. Each of the museums had wax replicas of significant images as it related to the trials. The first museum, the Salem Witch Museum, was better of the two. The Salem Witch Museum was more dramatic with lighting and back ground music that played with each scene, along with a dramatic voice booming through out the presentation. The dramatic voice was the kind you hear during movie previews: big and bold. The second museum had the mannequins you would see in the Sear men's and women's section. Still, at each museum it was clear in their mission, to eradicate the stereotypical image of witches, and people who practice Wiccan. One item I learned from the these museums and this was the idea that those who practice Wiccan lived in the country, while those who opposed the Winccans. Over all it was pretty cool.

We walked around Salem, and down to the waterfront.

We had ate lunch as this tiny restaurant called "The Pigs Eye". The place was no bigger than our motel room, but the food was good. The restaurant had a gazillion pigs plastered all over the walls and ceiling. Flying pigs, stuffed pigs, plastic pigs, even pictures of people dressed like pigs...But you get the point.

Then we continues up the coast to Maine for some yummy fresh Maine Lobster. My teacher friend from New Hampshire told this place in Ogunquit (Oh-GUN-quin), Maine. It was called the Lobster Pound. Sherie and I had each had a small lobster weighing in at 1 1/2 each. We were told some people eat up to a 4 pound lobster....Holy cow...er...I mean lobster.

Check out how they cook the lobster.
