Maryland roadtrip...

We took a weekend trip to the Baltimore and surrounding areas of Maryland. On the way we saw a Mustang on a Yukon... ok it was a small mustang.


Then we saw a van converted into... something...


Heading into Baltimore...


I had to take a few shots in the tunnel.


We found the town of Ellicott and had a fantastic lunch. We found some small shops and antique dealers along the main road. I climbed a rock and named it my own!


Then climbed down when I realised it wasn't that stupendous. My wife took these shots.


Some of the buildings were built right over streams that run through the town.


Near a tattoo parlor we found this awesome ride.




The town is mountainous and most buildings had steep staircases up thin alleyways.


As we were leaving town my wife spotted this school.


It was not open but we were able to look around...


...and through the windows. There were wild raspberries everywhere and we helped ourselves to a few. They were a bit tart but tasty.


We went to "The Crab Shanty" and got the BEST crab cakes in Maryland.
On the way, we saw this deer getting a nosh on the side of the road. He would take a few mouthfuls then leap away. When it looked safe enough it would come back for more.




Why does youtube video look so crappy lately... when it finally uploads...?
