Talking with our neighbors, Dave and Dollie, who are from the area, suggested we check out Ipswich and Gloucester on our way to Salam. In Ipswich, we stopped at the famous Clam Box for a delicious lunch of fried clams and scallops. Many of the houses in Ipswich date back to the early colonial days. The oldest we saw was built in 1650. We then drove through Gloucester and around the island to see the old fishing villages and the port. The roads were very narrow so were a challenge with the Behemoth. But we made it through. We arrived in Salam around 2:30 and managed to find a place to park the Behemoth on the street. We walked back to the Salam Witch Museum. We were surprised to find that you could only buy tickets on line for the museum. Leslie tried to connect up to investigate, but the connection was so slow and poor, she finally gave up. So we walked around the town of Salam and took in the sites and witch shops. We found a brewery and stopped in for a cold brew.
