Nov 7. Baltimore,MD Vitto had a busy day addressing all the damages caused to the boat by running it under the conditions that we did yesterday. The entire city of Baltimore is a Maritime Museum. It used to be a main ship maker in the past. The visitors can feel the history in the air. It is not a touristy port like Annapolis and that makes it much more interesting. It is historic and interesting. The maritime museum city has many faces. There are regular museums in every block of the waterfront but also there is a fleet of different types of ships that have been donated to the city by different entities to be converted into maritime self learning schools and interactive museums. All ships of the fleet are in pristine condition and open to ... read more

So, I've been home over a month and I have about two entries I wrote in Vietnam that I never posted and one more I should write to conclude the trip. This is just an entry promising that I will post these entries in the next day or two. And a little update: I just started taking martial arts classes with a crazy Vietnamese grandmaster who was the Southeast Asian champ. He swears he will teach me Vietnamese if it kills me. That would be helpful (learning more Vietnamese, not getting killed) in case I am able to return to Vietnam next summer. Victor already said that he'd love me to come back. But of course, I can't afford it if I'm not getting paid as a consultant, so it depends if they need me to ... read more

After seeing some of Baltimore's historical sites and after having sweated for a time in the hot and humid weather, decided it was time to visit some nice air conditioned museums for awhile. First up was the Sports Legend Museum located next to Camden Yards. The Museum focuses mainly on Maryland professional and college sports. Most popular are the exhibits for the Orioles and Colts/Ravens. Cal Ripken has his own section with several photos taken during his career including some candids with his family. That was probably my fave. The Museum is very well put together. As luck would have it, the daughter of Babe Ruth was there signing autographs. After the Sports Museum, I headed the few block to the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum. That Museum is located in Babe's childhood home and has ... read more
