Wednesday Highlights

Baltimore, MD

  • Learned to navigate both the Light-Rail and the Metro.
  • California: Gold. Maryland: Green.
  • First stop: Lexington Market. It's kind of an old-fashioned street vendor marketplace, except it's indoors (and air conditioned!). After this, a "super" Safeway is just another big, dumb grocery store.
  • Ate crab soup for lunch with some really yummy cornbread.
  • Found Edgar Alan Poe's grave.
  • Walked around in circles for an hour trying to find "Edgar Alan Poe House" but never did.
  • Went back to Lexington Market and had a "snowball" (a kind of slushy) to recover.
  • In spite of being sweaty and exhausted and looking like hell, a very nice old man told me that I was a "beautiful lady" and that he wished he had a camera so he could take a picture of me. ;-)
  • Checked out the Harbor and took a quick tour of the US Coast Guard Cutter Taney. (Will go back to the Harbor tomorrow I think)
  • Met up with my classmate Leslie and her Sri Lankan friends.
  • Had the *best* crabcakes in the world for dinner.
  • Humidity sucks.
