 Today was much warmer. It wasn’t nearly as bad as the evening walk the night before. We went to the satanic temple first. It wasn’t actually what you would think it to be. They are a group that uses the legal system to protect the rights of its members.

Then we went to tour a few of the popular cemetery’s. The first cemetary the were from the early 1700’s. The second cemetary, the graves were from the 1600’s. Some of the stones had been weathered so much you couldn’t read them. That particular area did have some “grave misplacement” so there were unmarked graves.

We then went to the witch memorial. It was done well. It had the names of those that were hanged/pressed. 

We visited the wax museum which had staged wax figures dressed in clothes of that time. The clothes were cool to look at. It made me wonder how bad people smelled back then. They had to be so sweaty with so many layers on.

Each little scenes had a story involving a little piece of history. The witch trials seemed mostly like a money grab for the government. If you were wealthy, you were accused of being a with . The government could siege all your property. You went to trial. Evidence, like for example, the sherif had a dream you were a witch, would be considered as real proof. What?

Ethan had walked back to the hotel to just recharge his batteries.

We ate at the hotel. The food was really good. Tomorrow we will start the journey home. It has been a fun trip.
