INNER HARBOR

I am back from a mini-vacation to Baltimore. It was a little spur-the-moment -but very much needed and enjoyed. We went to the Inner Harbor. Our hotel (Hyatt) was right on the harbor - with a lovely view. That was wonderful during the evening - but as soon as the sun came up - it was an OVEN in the room!!! Of course we enjoyed the little shops and fun restaurants - but our favorite day was spend in good old Barnes and Noble! I have to defend myself, though - it was a really nice - really big - Barnes and Noble. Some refurbished factory or station of some kind with wood floors and such an open feeling. Also we had fun at the Aquarium. I love going to the aquarium to see all the bizarre creatures of the sea. It is beyond me how anyone could doubt the presence of intelligent design. Such vibrant colors and patterns on little things that float around in the darkness of the sea. Wow. Loved watching the huge rays float along - even liked the sharks.

So am now refreshed and rested. On with life!
