Boston, Salem and Plymouth!

So we took the train from Penn Station to Boston.  

So they have the the fast train that gets you there in 3 hours and 15 min.  The slow train is like 2x as long.  Halfway through the ride, I remembered that they have apps that show you how fast you were going, and

From what I understand, these trains are the fastest in the US of A.  

I don't think it went over 160MPH.  

This one did have WiFi and lots of places to charge your electronica.  

They do have a bar car in the front of the train.  Lousy vodka selection... but hey...

Lobster Rolls

I actually ate 3 lobster rolls and they were all damn good.  One thing is that these rolls are all over the place but each place has their own way of preparing it and that's what makes it dope.

We wen to Whalburgers.  I thought it was pretty good.

So we went to Salem and wow, they really do embrace the Witch theme.

They have Witch museums!

This is called Stick Work.  

So if you are in Salem, you gotta take the tour!  

And if you are going to take the tour, do it at night!!

This was our tour guide.  He took us around town and explained WTF happened. I forgot his name.  Yea I know.  I should have remembered....

They have a nice memorial for the people that died in the 1692 Salem Witch Trials.

At the time there was mass hysteria and they accused 200 people of 

being a witches and 20 people were executed.

Giles was tortured to death by putting weight on him because he didn't admit guilt.

This memorial is for George Burroughs.  He was hung on August 19,  1692

Plymouth

Here's the rock!  It's actually pretty small.  I wish there was something I could have put in the photo to show scale, but they built this gazebo like structure where the middle part is like a well and you look down and see this.

At least its nice and clean with no graffiti.  If this was in L.A.....

Here is the Mayflower II

The ship is more of a replica that doesn't move.  

So people just board, look around and then leave.
