New York To Salem
Whizzing to Providence this morning to see the USS Massachusetts, then around to Cape Cod for lunch, then back up to Boston for two nights. Ending in Salem on Sunday for a witch and ghost tour 👻
Wicked On Broadway
I don’t know what it is about this musical. Cried the whole way through. 💚

Wonderful day in New York wandering around, finding something new to enjoy on every corner, digging through vintage shops in the East Village, then seeing Wicked on Broadway in the evening. Will post more pics when I get them off James’ phone later (I left mine in the hotel room most of the day).
SS Massachusetts (aka “Big Mammie”)
The second biggest warship the US ever made. Quite cool climbing down into its depths.
Provincetown, Cape Cod
The Truro/Brighton of the US. Strong LGBT community. Excellent mermaid porn street art. Lobster rolls of dreams. And a funky bird statuette that I genuinely might order for myself.
Boston
Aquarium, Red Sox game (vs. Minnesota Twins), and some stand-up comedy in the eve 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Witchy Things In Salem
Watched a recreation of a 1692 witch trial followed by a creepy tour through the dungeons, where women (and men, and children) were held in horrific conditions and tortured for months at a time, until they confessed to being a witch, at which point they could go to trial but were 100% of the time found guilty and hanged, since they had already confessed to being a witch. Great 🙄. Then we checked out an ouija board museum (as Salem is where the ouija originated). Particularly liked the ‘bowieja board’. Loving all the occult-y shops around the place. Lots of witchy types around having a great time. Going on a haunted walking tour in the rain tonight and wondering whether or not to visit the Satanic temple next to our hotel 😆
Ghouls
Some ghouls spotted at various windows on our haunted night tour of Salem. Can you see them? Def not just reflections in the glass… 👻
