Although we always have a pretty good time here, the marina and harbor aren't perfect. When we arrived, no one answered our call on VHF or phone after many attempts, so we pulled in and docked ourselves. The water in the Harbor always has lots of trash floating in it, and this time was no exception. We worry about sucking debris into our engine intake. Even walking around the city, there is way more trash lying around than in other cities!
Last night, we went for dinner in Canton at Momma's on the Half Shell....our favorite haunt here. Their Orange Crushes beat all! After dinner, as we were leaving the restaurant, A police car, fire truck and several large flat bed trucks loaded with people passed by. Lights were flashing and sirens blowing. It was the Emerald Society.....an Irish policemen's organization. They stopped, unloaded, and proceeded to do a pub crawl to all the cutsy bars in the neighborhood.....complete with a large group of bag pipers.....festive and fun.

Today we did a major walk through the neighborhoods of Fells Point, Little Italy, and Inner Harbor. There was an Italian festival in Little Italy complete with food, bocce ball, and live music. Great people watching.
