Due to a sudden death in the family, I was in Baltimore and Annapolis, Maryland, and on the train enroute, from 6-10 January 2019. Most of the time was spent with family, at a visitation, a funeral mass, and the wake afterward, and with close friends at meals; I didn’t visit any gardens or walk any trails, but I did experience a few things to share here.

Old Saybrook looks great! I think the Catonsville pix is really western edge of Baltimore. 2x-check with Lowell — he’s an old Catonsville boy, too.
Nice
