Salem looks like a great place for sketching, and you got a good set of drawings out of it (and an impressive range of types of subjects!) I had to look up the Yin Yu Tang house to satisfy my curiosity about what it was. Who is the statue of? I like sketches which suggest stories and a sense of place, as yours do. Too bad the images didn't come out bigger, though.
