Old Salem

As of 7.12.08, we have been married for 5 years! To celebrate, we went to Old Salem on Saturday. Old Salem is in Winston-Salem, just a little over 1 hour away. Old Salem is a community built on the foundation of the Moravian religion, later transformed into one of the most successful economic centers in early America. Old Salem is not simply about Moravian history; it is a reflection on an evolving diverse community in the South, struggling with common principles such as freedom, faith, tradition, government, slavery and war.

The old buildings are now available for you to tour. So, we visited a few of them and of course, the bakery. After touring around for a while, we had dinner at the
Old Salem Tavern. Mike tried pheasant for the 1st time and Miriam had the traditional chicken pot pie.

What a nice day trip to celebrate our anniversary!
