Charm City

A note from eva....

It's summer again. Unlike Hope, I like the humidity in some ways. I like feeling the world around me. Plus it's an incentive to wear cute dresses and tank tops-- rare parts of my wardrobe in Seattle.

It's always hard to arrive at a new home, because it can never match the old in terms of comfort and familiarity. But even without our stuff (yet), this is better then most moves have been before. Fran and Steve's warm welcome complete with frozen homemade food trays, and a landlord that we know beats moving to cities that I'd barely even been to before.

Anyway, it's still not Seattle. Today I'm looking for a car, with the mistaken intention for it to meet my hiking and outdoor needs that the NW has to offer. At the very least it will be good for the winters out here, but I don't know how much other outdoors I'll be able to do with this schedule. Of course, I still don't have my schedule...that will be something to look into tomorrow.

For incentives to visit Baltimore, check out the Visionary Art Museum at http://www.avam.org and Artscape http://www.artscape.org/ and the Honfest, which unfortunately, we missed this year http://www.honfest.net/. Plus, there's always the favorite Delaware beaches http://www.rehoboth.com/home.html and some nearby wine tasting.
