Since my last post we have been to Annapolis and Baltimore,
MD. Both cities are vibrant and
fun. The history tour continued
also. We are still in the Charm City
(Baltimore) and are dining at the Charleston Restaurant tonight, supposedly one
of the best in Baltimore. Baltimore
began declining in the 1970s the same as Detroit and other manufacturing cities
on the east coast. Due to some visionary
politicians (including Nancy Pelosi’s father) the commercial waterfront was
transformed into a recreational district with upscale housing, museums,
restaurants, hotels, art galleries, etc.
It is truly amazing what they have done with the Inner Harbor District,
where we are docked.
While in Annapolis, our friends we met in the Bahamas, Rick
and Eva, treated us to a meal at the Annapolis Yacht Club! A fine meal and good company. The only depressing thing is Eva is not sanguine
about her sabbatical ending. I was
hoping for some positive spin, but none was forthcoming. Oh well, I have six months not to think about
it….
