Inner Harbor East Marina

Baltimore, Maryland



Federal Hill

Barb and I had another great day in Baltimore! We purchased a water taxi pass for the day 

Fort McHenry

and headed out. First stop was Fort McHenry National Monument which was the fort that stopped the British Fleet from entering Baltimore. Francis Scott Key watched the battle then composed "The Star Spangled Banner" our National Anthem. If you ever have a chance to visit the fort please do it - it’s a must see! 

Fort McHenry

 



Fells Point



We took another water taxi to Fells Point a waterfront neighborhood where we walked the streets, found a corner pub where I had a bucket of steamed mussels! From there, we went back to where the day started and watched a little of the race.



Lucky shot!



Dinner was in Little Italy a three block walk from the marina. With the race in town white linen tables lined the side walks filled with very happy patrons. To add to the ambiance of the Grand Prix and the festivities of Little Italy there were two Ferraris and a Lamborghini parked in front of the restaurant.

Wow!!
