So, we get into the city without any problems. I'm pretty impressed by that since, in my experience, eastern US freeways can be confusing and often tangled. But we hit a snag downtown. For some reason many of the streets were blocked for just a block or two. Turns out today is a big fireman's parade. We quickly found a place to park and chose a curb to sit on. I don't know how many vehicles we missed, but we say about 70--everything from modern working engines to a human pulled 1820's vintage fire wagon. It was pretty awesome.
After the parade we wandered the Inner Harbor. Even seeing it I have a hard time fathoming just how big the Chesapeake is. Someday I'd like to visit the bay's eastern shore.
Today's Oriole's game was an afternooner against the Angels. We were a little worried since the sky opened up and rained buckets with thunder and lightning about 45 minutes before the first pitch. But then things cleared up and it was game time. We had some excellent tickets. Camden Yards is a beautiful ballpark. And the Birds won, 5-2, breaking a fourteen Sunday game losing streak.
