Yes, I have pics of me in a swimsuit, but no, you will never see them. :P These are just a few highlights from the trip, mainly from Salem, the "Bridge of Flowers," and the family picnic. Aside from getting completely sunburnt, almost drowning, and eating nothing but junk food, the trip rocked. I loved Salem because it is both a historical site (points to History major), as well as a pagan mecca. I actually enjoyed the beach, although I'm sad I never got to fly my mighty pirate kite.

In other news, I am back at school now. Between being president of the anime society, studying the evil known as the "greek language," and dealing with twits, I think I will soon asplode. Seriously, how can they expect us to learn a language when the teacher can't speak it and the book was written by robotic monkeys?

The Gateway, however, is beautiful (as are my roommates). The only problems thusfar are the fact that the windows are crawling with spiders (hence why mine is shut and double-layered with curtains), and that the heat is non-existent at night. It's all worth it for the private bathroom, kitchen, and living room, though. I have a feeling we'll be putting the kitchen to good use, considering dining services shot itself over the summer.

When I went to Salem, the group I was with went to the Witch Museum with animatronics telling the story of the trials. Animatronics scare the crap out of me, and it really over-hyped and tourist-ized the whole thing. I wish I could have gone to the cemetary instead.

We went to the Pirate Museum, the Witch Village, the Salem historic site (which dealt with the history of Salem as a port city), and the memorial to the witch trials. The Pirate Musuem had wax figures, but it was really cool, and the Witch Village was kind of silly, but all proceeds went to the local pagan society, so at least it wasn't a complete waste.
