I travel the country on business, sometimes the world. Come see where I've been. |
Well here I am in the 'Charm' city, Baltimore Maryland. Spent yesterday exploring a little; went to the National Aquarium on the waterfront, and walked until my legs told me I should stop. After class today, I went to Fort McHenry and watched a group of school children from Maria Stein Ohio first lower the storm flag at the fort, then hoist a smaller flag while singing the "Star Spangled Banner." This caused me to pause a moment, and I had to wonder how many people know all the verses to that song. We sing only the first verse as our National Anthem, but there are four original verses to it, with a fifth added by another writer during the Civil War. I will add more to this entry as this week passes, tomorrow I plan on having dinner on the waterfront again. It's Thursday night, and I just got back from a really nice dinner. Had dinner Monday at a small local Pub, Tuesday I went to a place called Mo's Fisherman's Wharf. Very good meal there, I'd recommend you go there if you are in the area. Last night I went to a Tapas restaurant (first time at one of them), and I have to say, I wasn't all that impressed. Maybe I ordered the wrong things, but it just wasn't what I thought it would be. But tonight was by far the best meal I've had in a while. Went to a place called Bo's Brooks, an excellent seafood restaurant. Crab coated Pretzel, Shrimp and Crab filled Avacado, and fish taco's. Was so good, I'm afraid I made a pig of myself. Hope you all have had a nice week, tomorrow I start for home. Will be there a week before leaving for Beaumont Texas, followed by Richland Washington. Til next time... ** Image ID #1840790 Unavailable ** Jim Dorrell |
