Day 349 (Friday 7/5/13)- Salem, MA

Starting the day by hiking many miles to a bus that never came we were disheartened to have failed getting in to Boston.

Working on a much tighter schedule we made a hurried drive through the Minute Man NPS and got to walk along the bridge where the "shot heard round the world" was fired.

In Salem we had hoped to hear about the infamous Salem Witch Trials but instead ran in to a bunch of tourist traps. Making lemonade we explored the Peabody Art Museum, walked along the waterfront viewing the USS Friendship ship and saw several famous houses including the Derby House (a friend's ancestors owned it).

Overall Salem left us disappointed and sunburned.
