Salem and Halloween in New England

Kristina, her brother Jonathan and our friend who lives in Boston Bree who is doing a Masters in Public Health at Boston University, and I went to Salem on Friday night after a long week of midterms and quizzes Monday through Friday. We picked Kristina's brother up from the T in Boston who came in from NYC (he is an actor) and headed to the witch town. After searching for parking in a crowded little town, we started off seeing many witch hats and very funny costumes. Tina and I dressed in black with witch hats and were enjoying the fruit basket group dressed as fruit, vampires, creepy killer guys from movies that I didn't know because I don't watch scary movies, and the ghosts too. We walked around the little downtown and then decided to do a haunted house tour- IN 3D!! Edward Cullen invited us in and I was laughing the whole time, it was not very scary but a big part of the experience. then we did a salem witch history tour and saw the big cemetery. Then we went to a bar and experienced some locals and spooky Halloween dancing- very fun! Definitely a good New England Halloween experience.

Saturday night one of the ladies in our program had a halloween party at her place and all the international students loved it celebrating Halloween for the first time. They were taking tons of pictures and loved the candied apples they made themselves. Then we went out into Cambridge and saw all the crazy costumes...again, fun!
