Today we visit Salem NC. Salem was founded in 1766 by the Moravians a Protestant faith that began in what is now known as the Czech Republic. The Moravians were missionaries who established an earlier settlement in Bethlehem. The architecture and landscape of Salem are still quite accurate, as many of the Historic Town buildings are original structures.



At Winkler Bakery my friend and I get a cookie big enough to share, but we get one each from this bakery.The dome bake oven at Winkler is typical of bake ovens used in Salem. The Bakery's oven is still heated with wood as it was nearly 200 years ago. Pretty damn good chocolate chip cookie.

After Salem we make a stop at Westbend Vineyard for some winetasting. But the Wine is to sweet for me not really my taste. After that we're up for Mexican dinner and tonight I'm going to have a dessert. At least thats my plan...


Don't think so...
