Salem - Boo!

Okay, we're back in the land of the living, after plenty of time off for rest after the big wedding. Just in time for things to heat up around home, apparently. We went for breakfast today at Red's - couldn't get in, too crowded. Many people in line from all over, asking us how early we left home to get to Salem. "Not too early," we replied, as we headed to Brother's for a less-crowded breakfast.

So much to see - the street fairs have begun, and people in costume are roaming the town. Entertaining signs for the Festival of The Dead are everywhere. And this is two weeks to go! Umass' homecoming weekend is the same as Halloween. We may escape to Western MA for a day of hot cider and pumpkins at Atkins farm.
