July 21-22, 2017 - Baltimore

Friday didn't get started until around lunch time.  We spent the day at Fell's Point, an historic waterfront neighborhood established around 1763.  The streets are full of row houses containing apartments, restaurants, pubs, and stores of all kinds.  These row houses are each just 12 feet in width making most of the restaurants and pubs very long and narrow.  We started with lunch at the Sip and Bite and then walked all around Fell's Point spending time at many of the unique bars.  We had a great dinner at Peter's and then back to the Cat's Eye Pub for some evening entertainment (which included watching the Astros beat the O's).  Everyone went home Saturday, so after a trip to Whole Foods, we settled in for the day.  I walked more around the town and got back just in time for some showers.  We sure had a great time with everyone this week.

This was by our restaurant - not sure if we should be offended by it

Some samples of the row houses - evidently you
can tell the age of the building by the size of the windows.  In the old ones,
the windows are very narrow.

More residences

Some very unique art work - it changes colors

still afloat which saw action at Pearl Harbor
