Description: Salem is a beautiful little town with the requisite green Common and a gorgeous harbor. The cobbled streets are tree-lined and the houses mostly clapboard and shingled. Since most everything we'd come to see was centered around the Common we took a stroll through several of the shops. There are boutiques, antiques and cafes, but what I thought was interesting is that every other shop seems to be cashing in on the witch craze. You can visit a psychic; have your fortune read by tea leaves, tarot or palm; you can buy candles, angels, healing stones, crystal balls; and, I suspect if you look hard enough, eye of newt to toss into your own pot of boiling potions.
