Egg sculpture outside of the American Visionary Art Museum – my favorite museum ever. I visited many, many times in the week I was in Baltimore. + They have the best gift shop. That alone is worth the visit. It looks like it could have been curated by John Waters (a Baltimore native) – weird and awesome.
The incredibly symmetrical Fort McHenry (above & below).
Fort McHenry is where the battle took place that inspired Francis Scott Key to pen the United States national anthem, the Star Spangled Banner.
My view from the 26th floor of the hotel…
Next, Fell's Point – which I loved. Cobblestone streets, live music, galleries, crab cakes. Love.
The water taxi that took me everywhere, back and forth like a little aquatic pin-ball across the inner harbor.
A street performer…
She was nice. We chatted with her a bit since she was just getting off shift. Then there were the Dinosaur paddle-boats, for which alas…I didn't manage to make time. Next time for sure.
The mirrored tree, also outside of the American Visionary Art Museum.
It sounded lovely, tinkling in the wind.
Lastly, the USS Constellation – the last Civil War vessel afloat.
Didn't make time to tour it (also on my list for next time) but it did scare the bejesus out of me when they fired the canon while I was enjoying a 5 Guys burger on the dock. 🙂
So that was Baltimore this time around. The more I go, the more I like it!
