My damn pinky toe still hurt too much to let me play soccer this morning. I watched from the sidelines as my teammates won 4-1 against Peabody. After a lovely aprés in North Reading, I took advantage of the sunny day and my proximity to the ocean to visit nearby Salem. At this time of year, the city is literally crawling with witches and ghosts and all manner of Halloween-costumed visitors. I decided to avoid the downtown crowds and briefly visited the House of the Seven Gables. Tours were fully booked, so I settled for an aerial photo before moving on to the Derby Wharf Light Station. Look closely, and you may notice an unusual addition to the structure.
