Salem, Essex County

only 12 steps removed from owning a flying monkey

i love visiting salem to learn about my ancestor’s and my “witch” heritage. i am a descendent of the Towne family who had 3 sisters jailed for being witches during the hysteria, two of them were convicted and killed. the most famous of the sisters is rebecca nurse. her and her sisters are (were, would be?) my great(x12) aunts. i love having such an interesting family story, even though the whole thing was so tragic. it’s still really fascinating.

Easthampton, Massachusetts

Untitled

ok, i lied, it’s really not that worth visiting yet, but it’s getting there. i also grew up there so i’m kinda negatively biased towards it. the area is actually a good location and the scenery is pretty (living there you forget that not everyone gets to look out their windows and see at a mountain). new, cute shops have been going in so the town is looking a little better. still doesn’t compare to northampton, but there’s more to do there than southampton and westhampton combined, which must count for something. i’m rooting for the town to have a comeback and i think it’s on its way.

p.s. my mom runs a thrift store in the center of town next to the big white church called “The Parson’s Closet” and it’s a cool place to poke around and find random stuff for cheap.

The Big Texan, Amarillo

A Taste of Texas

A great atmosphere with friendly people, and a lot of interesting things to look at. There are limos with bull horns on the front, cowboy chaufers, a gift shop, a giant rocking chair, painted motel, giant bull, great food and of course the huge-ass steak dinner you get to watch people try to eat. This was only one of many stops on a cross-country drive, but definitely one of the most fun and memorable places.
