In case you never visit Old Salem

I will not post every single photo I took.  I promise.  Nothing like a tour guide here in a blog, zzzzz!

So the exciting and never to be seen again things include:

It was great to have garden flowers out by the road.

Even the private homes are well maintained, and have the year they were constructed on little plaques by the foundations.

I wondered what this climbing pretty might be.  Do you know?

The silversmith's was not open.

This construction did catch our eyes...and we climbed through the doorway to look down on an (active?) archeological dig of the foundation of an original building.  So the strange half completed building is to protect it from us tourists tromping all over it.
