Spent a couple hours in Baltimore walking through all the shops. Grabbed dinner and enjoyed listening to the water. Hard Rock Cafe and several other kinds of seafood, Italian, Irish and other kinds of restaurants are located all along the Harbor as well as several dozen shops of all kinds. It was a beautiful evening and there was a magician performing for the crowd. The Harbor almost always has some kind of performance on weekends and a crowd soon takes a seat to watch. Those out on dates as well as families are ever present. I have toured the Aquarium before and it's quite good. Need to go back and view again someday. During the day, one can rent paddleboats or go out on water tours of the Harbor. Such a pretty area which has come ... read more

After traveling a few places, I have found that I approach home now with a little of the attitude that I had while I was abroad. I find that I make friends easier, am more willing to try new things, to take advantage of the things this place has to offer rather than writing it off as boring and narrow like I thought it was when growing up. After a year in Annapolis I ... read more

It's once again the year of the pig, and once again time to travel. Twelve years since Steve's last sabbatical. Twelve years since we lived in Bejing, since our then 3 year old received a special gift of an enormous stuffed pig she still sits on, since our family was pictured in the English edition of China Daily celebrating in Ditan Park, since we served lasagna with chopsticks to Steve's Chinese office mates to mark the 12 days of Christmas. Twelve days till we board a plane for Hanoi in Vietnam, where it will once again be the year of the pig, and where we begin our adventure. The first of our 4 trips will take us to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Burma.... read more
