I have recently traveled to Boston Massachusetts and was able to spend a day in Salam Massachusetts. Salem as you may know, is a city on the northern east coast of Massachusetts just above Boston. It was famed for the Salem witch trials, where several locals were executed for allegedly practicing witchcraft. In Salem, I went down Essex Street which is a historical cobblestone-and-brick street in the heart of downtown Salem. The street performers, vendors, and artists put booths up and stole or asked for tips. While walking I passed the back of the Peabody Essex Museum. Just behind it on the walkway sat an older Asian man who I later learned was named Ming. Ming was using pastel chalk and pencils to draw portraits of passers. I was intrigued so I gave him tips and he began drawing me; he was finished in about ten minutes. I was faced with a beautiful portrait that perfectly resembled the essence of my looks
