As with all these excursions in the USA, the guide doesn't make any effort for French tourists, who sometimes have trouble understanding what they're saying. So we ended up following the tour without listening to anything.

Alex was an excellent guide. The weather was terrible for much of the day, but she keep cheerful and smiling throughout. Learnt lots and Salem itself is a very picturesque town.
