Baltimore, MD

I was in Baltimore this weekend!!!!
YAY!!!!! Great times, great times....
Enjoy these great pictures!


To get from place to place we took a Water Taxi. Very fun...much better than other taxis. Here we are waiting for the first one.


My brother enjoying the Water Taxi....



We were stamped so that we could have an all-day pass. Very helpful.



A stop along the way was the "Rusty Scupper". Although we didn't frequent it, we were amused by it's title.




There were three tugboats docked on the waters. I had never seen an actual tugbaot before, so that was a first!


For lunch, we made a stop in Little Italy. "La Tavalo" was an excellent "ristaraunte" and they make amazing gnocci! This picture is of a mural on the side wall of a seafood restraunt nearby.
Is the world my oyster???


My aunt was intent on enjoying the arts, which we did, at Walters Art Museum. I found these lions carved into EVERY doorway. I think I felt at home at that point :)


On the way to the museum, we came upon Baltimore's prayer garden, specially for the late Pope John Paul II. A beautiful statue caught my attention...you saw it right up there :)


Our last stop was at this gelato place. One word: Spectacular.
I had Chocolate with chocolate chips and a custardy flavor called Crema. Yummmmy!!!




A Toast to Baltimore!!!! YAYYYY!!!!
