Baltimore

Spent the day in Baltimore. Another poor and rough city. The city centre was smart and prosperous looking but the suburbs were a different story. Rough, rundown and dirty. Seems like another area hit by mass unemployment. People I spoke to talked about the area previously being a home to manufacturing and fishing but now that has long gone.



Visited the downtown area with the key attraction being the National Aquarium.










Fab supper at Costas Crab Restaurant. Amazing steamed crab - 12 between two, hot and spicy! Rates in the 10 ten best meals in the US.
