Baltimore City
What can I say? We've thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
On Thursday, we though we'd be able to go grocery shopping and exploring and then hit the National Aquariun...NOT. After going to the visitors centre, we spent the day exploring the city, looking for a grocery store or market and somewhere to buy beer. We found "Little Italy", one market and one grocery store; bought some smoked sausage and 2 dozen oysters and enough groceries between the four of us that we had to switch bags every now and then, to ease the heavy load.
When we got back to the boat, Steve shucked a dozen oysters and Janice got to swallow her first oyster about the bow of "Lion's Paw".
This morning after going to the visitors' center, we checked out the Inner Habour Marina ($1.25/ft) and while there we met Denise and Andrew from "Samaria II". They had noticed our Whitby 42 anchored in the harbour and invited us for a drink aboard their beautiful yacht for 5 pm today. It was already five o'clock. We were a little late arriving, but were welcomed aboard and ended up spending the evening with them. After cocktails we all went to UNO's on the waterfront for a pizza. Not the best pizza but a great evening!
