we drove to salem, witch village the day before we left for europe...
always wanted to visit salem... having read so many books, facts and fiction equal, intepreting the events that happened there so long ago...
slightly disappointed at how commercialized the whole place is now...the many sights and interests so vainly exploiting the true and fictional events that happened there...
still...learned facts that I never knew before... Salem's old fame as a seaport (apparantly, China once believed Salem was a country by itself, based on the vast number of ships that came from Salem!), the history of pirates of Salems... all outweighed by the witches... poor things :p
I only wish... the town can lose that faint veneer of artificial polish...
