Touring the Town

SUNDAY- The last few days have brought miles-long neighborhood walks and sightseeing. Today, Louis discovered a very nice dog park and played with two cute Jack Russell's. We lunched at a hot dog shop near the park and, otherwise, had an uneventful day.

MONDAY- I walked over 6 miles exploring the Inner Harbor high shopping areas. After scoring some bargains at Filine's Basement, I visited the Civil War Museum and walked the Fell's Point water front before heading back to SeaDream. Mike spent the day with Louie and boat projects. Later that evening, Louis enjoyed a good book (see picture).

TUESDAY- We rode the free water taxi to Fells Point, meeting a delightful English tourist couple from nearby my childhood home in Ipswitch! A “pay for a day” water taxi took us to Fort McHenry, at the mouth of the Baltimore Harbor, with it's amazing history and fantastic views. It's hard to believe that the same British who fruitlessly attacked Baltimore also sailed to New Orleans, only to be resoundingly defeated by that Nashville guy, Andrew Jackson.

Water-taxied back to the Inner Harbor for lunch then walked the old neighborhoods and back to our area of Canton.

Once upon a time. . .

Great place to meet dogs.
