City of Salem

With Liz off to work and Graham sitting in daycare, I used my time to get a *little* bit of work done, then off to explore Salem a little more. My general observations --

-- Salem is a dog friendly town with at least a handful of shops offering bowls of water for dogs:


Has some tremendous history with buildings dated in the 1600s and statues of famous, native novelist --





And, the town, as described by my friend Lizard, is a tourist attraction for all that is Halloween. Salem is known to be a witch town in the history books, and the town is very proud to have dozens of shops for tourists bragging about this history with touristy type souvenirs and some very strange art.



Though I could have waited until 4pm, I seemed to remember Liz saying this morning that if I wanted to I could pick up Graham at 3pm...soooo...2:55pm I was at the door of Graham's daycare ready to pick the cute fart up! Here is the Graham Picture of the Day - and for more just click on "Graham's Pics" because I have been adding my pics hourly...I mean daily.
