More From Baltimore

Today, we decided to take the day off. Both of us were tired from our many adventures in Maryland and Washington, DC. Above is a photo of the Baltimore skyline from Inner Harbor.
There was a bit of whimsy in the harbor, where so many historic ships are moored as part of the Baltimore Maritime Museum, but these charming fiberglass sea monsters tickled my fancy.
In College Park, Md, the home of University of Maryland, we saw a number of these terrapins. But when I saw one at Inner Harbor, I decided to snap it and try to figure out what is going on. The diamondback terrapin is the Maryland's state reptile and Testudo, the Terrapin is the UM mascot. Maybe they are doing the "Cow" thing with the terrapins that I do not know.

Here is a photo of historic John Hopkins Hospital, opened in the 1899, a world renowned biomedical research and medical facility. This building is just one of the many hospital facilities lining many streets in Baltimore.
