Things I Did in Baltimore

Your friend Bridge here is lazy about uploading photos, so this post won't have any until later.

Anyway, here's highlights from Maryland:

1) Annapolis -
  • The chapel at the Academy-beautiful stained glass
  • The fact that all the bar bathrooms have Pregnancy Clinic adverts (Navy town and all)
  • A good book store called Hard Bean Coffee and Book Store
2) Baltimore -

  • Camden Yards-do the tour, if you're into baseball, architecture and tidbits of facts and legends.
  • Fells Point-hippie little place. Highlights: the Ugly Pig Oven Mit I got for Rene, and especially the orange and the grapefruit crushes at Alexander's Tavern - freshly squeezed juice, crushed ice, flavored vodka. Goes down way too easy, I tell yah. But I was on vaca
  • Fricken amazing mojitoes and delicious Cuban food at Little Havanna
  • Crabs, dug. Captain James Landing for the low-down, fun old crab malleting experience.
  • The aquarium
Pix to follow!!

FYI-Minimal Posting Until Thursday

Since I'm in Baltimore, I won't be posting anything significant until I'm back in Boston (Thursday night.)

So far, we've just hung out in Me lissa's town house and watched native Baltimorean Michael Phelps win the 8th gold medal. (11,000 people down the road and MT Bank (really? Empty Bank? what's up with that?) also watched...)

Today was Annapolis and now I have crabs. Ha ha get it? Navy joke. Anyway, for real I'm going to get crabs to eat and for real I saw some cute men in Navy uniforms at the Academy. Annapolis is pretty.

More later--with pictures even!
