MD

Yesterday we drove through D.C. into our Baltimore 'burb called Linthicum Heights. It's quiet (even though we see planes flying in and out of BWI), businessy, and just about 10 minutes from the city. We like it here. Mitra says she can see herself living here near the harbor in an old brick house. The weather reminds her of San Francisco and the skinny residential streets remind her of London!

The first afternoon/evening we trotted along the touristy parts and had a seafood (what else!) dinner right on the harbor at a place called Shuckers. We sat outside with Bitsy and our Alabamian waiter brought her cookies and her very own water bowl (it's the Southern hospitality!).

I was excited to take nerdy pictures in front of Charm City Cakes (Food Network's "Ace of Cakes") and try some of the foodie things that Duff raves about on the same network's "The Best Thing I Ever Ate." From the Totally Fried episode, we got to try the fried shrimp heads! Kinda weird, we both decided. And today we went to Dangerously Delicious Pies, also featured on the show with their Baltimore Bomb Pie - so so delicious! If you're ever in the Federal Hill neighborhood, you must try it!

Here are some snapshots!
