lived in Annapolis Maryland for a year and it was interesting... got my first new car back then and got a chance to see a lot of DC...I remember too that I learned to drive on the streets of DC with a drunken sailor...lol real story... I ran every red like on the streets of DC cause I didn't know...soon after that

learned too how to ride the waves on the Chesapeake Bay in a motor boat and did a lot of serious fishing and crabbing

loved going to Baltimore MD eating crab....

I think that that area had more fishing eateries than New Orleans...

really nice area... really nice...

visited only once since...

stood guard at the Naval Academy...but was stationed at the Naval Station... had to take the motor boat to stand guard... how much fun was that?

the guard was to climb a plank about 50ft in the air and watch to make sure the midshipmen didn't crash or sink...

 me... I just didn't want to fall down off the plank that was nice on a nice summer day or night...

there were a lot of tankers going back and forward and could have crashed in the bay from their gigantic waves

that place gave me my courage and can do spirit.... we all learn something from our environments don't we?

Beautiful pictures and I've been a lot of places but unfortunately not there.  It's like taking pictures of the beautiful old buildings and monuments in London, knowing that just a mile or so away there are the slums and the docks.  I would love to go.

Hubby and I used to go to Annapolis and sailboat watch. Love it. And they do have the best crab cakes ever. That's really cool what you did there.
