Baltimore

I drove down to Baltimore after getting back from Canada. It was an ok drive and only took just under 4 hours of actual driving time.

I found a service station on the way down which had a Popeye's restaurant in there. For those of you not in the know it is Louisiana Fried Chicken and a bit like KFC. Usefully they let you refill your drink so I topped up before continuing the journey.

Once in Baltimore we went on a British style pub crawl featuring several pubs including the "Best Bar in America", which was a bit of a disappointment, and a bar where they brew the beer on site. Notable beers were Dog Fish Head beer (named after the brewers 3 favourite things) and a beer called Ossy (named after Ossy Osbourne).

The 2nd day included some sight seeing of Baltimore.

Here is the Washington Monument and a statue of Lafayette who is big in America.


If you look at Washington closely it does look like he's being rude though.


The views of the harbour from the top of the hill which used to house a fort till the British destroyed it in the Revolutionary War was quite good, but it wasn't the most

picturesque place I've been on my trip.



After that we went on a longer walk, including chats about informationon The Wire.
