Sandwich beaches & Salem witches

Another big day of driving, so we started with a last walk along the boardwalk to Town Neck Beach. It was stunning. The marshes below the boardwalk were full of tributaries teeming with wildlife (including some kids jumping off the rails into the water 😱). At the beach, the tide was in, and the water freezing, so we just walked the waters edge admiring the beach houses. Perfect for silencing your thoughts and letting your mind drift. The drive to Salam was long and eventful; we took a wrong turn in the underground motorway network at Boston and ended up back at the airport trapped on the circular road!!! Eventually, we made it to Salam. A town riding the wave of 5 poor women killed for being witches in 1692. Which, of course, they weren't. We were excited to be there as the history makes it worth a visit, and we attended a very interesting reenactment of the witch trials. Very crowded as its Labour day weekend but managed to get a photo of the Witch House.Read more
