Baltimore Visited

The rain dampened our visit to Baltimore just a little bit.  We were lucky it cleared up enough for us to walk between different locations.  We stayed at a hotel in the Mount Vernon area.  We walked through downtown, to the Inner Harbor.  It's really designed nicely and there's lots to do there.  Boat tours, museums, restaurants, paddle boats, etc.  We just walked right through that area and continued to Federal Hill.  We got food and a few drinks at a cute pub called Porter's, just in time as the rain hit with force.  When there was a lull in weather, we went through an indoor market, en route to another pub called Ropewalk Tavern.  Big, cheap place... quite enjoyable.  After that, the rain finally ceased for good.  We walked over to Camden Yards and saw the Orioles get beaten by Boston.  The good:  Adding another ballpark to my list of ballparks.  And we got to see Manny Ramirez hit his 500th home run.  The bad:  Boston Red Sox fans.  Wow, they were everywhere and they were annoying.  But come on Baltimore!!  what kind of team has a small section in their gift shop dedicated to the opposing team!!  Never, man.  It was kinda sad.  We considered buying Orioles stuff just to help them out.  Some people we met in a bar afterwards did just that - bought Oriole hats.  So, if you go to Camden Yards, make sure it's not verses Boston.

Yup. I actually use that calendar at work. I have it right here. Baltimore was April. Right now it's Chicago White Sox.
