Our morning started with a blind taste-off between regular pancakes and gluten-free pancakes. I prepared each type and served them to Jeanine and Kris. Both were able to identify which was which, as was I. All of this was because I refused to accept the assertion that gluten-free pancakes tasted just as good as gluten-containing pancakes.

Salem was our destination for the morning, where we took a 2-hour historical walking tour and learned all about the history of the city and the infamous witch trials and executions. We traveled to Marblehead in the afternoon, where we stopped at the Marblehead Light, Old Burial Hill Cemetery, and Fort Sewall.
