Watch Film Play-mate-of The Pes

Stockholm


We continue the series of posts on the Baltic stopping at Stockholm. Unfortunately, our visit was very short because the weather was bad and we were under a lot of rain.
However, for what little we have, we could appreciate the beauty of this city that is spread over fourteen islands, making the city skyline and particularly impressive.

We visited the old town the establishment of the royal palace, where you can watch the changing of the guard, always there are several witnesses of architecture buildings medieval town and always in this area is the museum of Nobel prizes .

Then the rain did not allow us to visit more, but thanks to a bus hop on - hop off, we could at least see the other districts and the feeling was that of a beautiful city alternating with the modern classic. A modern buildings and design of the classic alternate colored houses with wooden roofs.

beautiful and charming city with the arrival in the hundreds of islands that make up the archipelago of Sweden. Our magnet is a typical room with two Swedes in typical costume dancing. Stockholm is definitely a goal in which to return, perhaps with good weather.

Salem, MA Boston

Our second post is dedicated to the town of Boston Salem.
Distance 29 minutes by train from Boston, Salem linked its name to the sad history of the witch hunt.
In 1692 the town experienced years of terror caused by the obsession with witchcraft and some citizens were killed and persecuted in a climate of paranoia and discrimination.

Today, this dark past has been converted into picturesque turim: Everything is related to the Salem witches, from museums to shops.
In this sort of Disneyland of evil, you can visit the museum witches that provides an accurate historical reconstruction of this period. Then there is a (small) wax museum that offers the statues of the characters who were involved in the witch trials but also historically significant personages in the history of the town. In front of the wax museum, you can then make a further excursion tour to the city's history by visiting the Witch History Museum .

If you want to go beyond the appearance of the town folk, Salem also offers many other things:
the Peabody Essex Museum , the House of the Seven Gables , an extraordinary example of colonial architecture, known for being the location of 'eponymous short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne the Lizzie Borden museum , the 'killer that killed his family, and the Maritime Museum .

Salem is very small, it takes 3 hours to turn it on foot, including attractions, but it's worth visiting for his appearance so characteristic. We went shortly after Halloween which is the main festival of the city that so fully exploits its Gothic appearance. Given the season we have been able to still enjoy the foliage, with colors unimaginable.

The magnet comes from the main museum of the city and, of course, witchcraft theme with lots of bats!
