We decided to go and visit Baltimore this morning. About 20 minutes from the marina so we left about 9 and set the Baltimore Orioles ballpark Camden Yards as our destination. Neat ball park built on the old style of ballparks. Unfortunately the Orioles were out of town, otherwise we would have taken in a game. Outside the ballpark they have all the retired numbers of their great Baltimore players – Cal Ripkin, Eddie Murray, etc.
We walked over to the Baltimore Visitors centre which was right on the inner harbor. They have fixed up the harbor so that it is a treat to walk around it. In the Centre we received a recommendation for the American Visionary Museum – a museum devoted to artists who have not quite made it but their works are very good and avant garde. So we went and visited the museum and found it quite interesting. It is hard to describe the museum other than to repeat what is in the Official Guide to Baltimore – “ The national museum and education centre for outstanding original works of art created by intuitive, self taught artists”. Fascinating! There are a lot of other things we didn’t see in Baltimore that would draw us back. Another City, I would return to for a visit.
This is art!
