Charm City by rail and back

Leaving the station at dawn, crossing the Elizabeth then up to the fall line before turning north just inside the tidal rivers.

D.C. by 11:00, Baltimore and the Inner Harbor by 12:30.  A long walk along the shore with the oldest daughter, then a water taxi to Fells Point.

A visit to the Waterfront Hotel to pay homage to "Homicide, Life on the Streets," a favorite television show and if you haven't seen it, too bad, it's gem that is hard to find.

A Natty Boh at the Waterfront, then oysters and mussels at, where else, Bertha's.  

The water taxi back to the inner harbor for an O's game, and unusual and unexpected win in a season filled with losses.

Dawn, a long walk at the edge of the water, from the inner harbor to Canton and back, followed by a visit to a poet's grave. 

Back on the tracks, through D.C. to an evening run along the Potomac.

Crossing the Elizabeth once more, this time at dusk, returning home.  A nice weekend.
