Salem

 

  This place is the definition of October. They take Halloween to a whole new level. Not only is every last shop, restaurant, and park completely decorated, but it's done to the nth degree. Everyone is dressed up, and there is no filter when it comes to creepy. It's great! I can't even count on one hand how many times I saw cars, motorcycles and bikes cruising down the streets with skeletons hanging off the back.

  We were slightly pressed for time so unfortunately we didn't get to engage in all the haunted houses and candlelit ghost walks, however we did venture around to the House of Seven Gables, the Witch Trial Memorial, and we also moseyed around the pedestrian mall on Essex street for awhile.  

 

   Oh, and apparently cat squishing is an issue on this street. :(  

  Oh, Salem... you are so quaint. Hopefully we'll be able to make it up here again this month to fit in some more Halloween fun!  

 

 On a totally irrelevant note...

The window cleaners came to wash the windows of our building bright and early Sunday morning while we were still passed out in our bed.

I think the most perturbed one was this little lady - she was so concerned!

We eventually had to pull the shades to to give them some privacy from our curious cat.
