Oh say can you see...

The sun in a scaled distance model of the solar system

I left Annapolis in blazing sunshine again an immediately got lost looking for a bike trail to take me most of the way to Baltimore. After several miles a scaled distance model of the solar system began with Pluto. About 3 miles later I found the sun. I'm just the nerdy kind of guy that would think that was a good idea.

The trail took me to Baltimore/Washington International Airport where there's another trail going around the perimeter. Blatantly I have to take the long route round adding 10 miles to me journey, but was nice. And once off the trail, I got properly lost. I think I've found somewhere with worse traffic signposting than Warrington. Had to ask several people for directions and was still lost until I was on the far side of the harbour and could see Baltimore clearly. I tried a couple of students for a sofa but got nowhere so went to find the hostel. $30 a night - done! When I woke up, with a bit more to see in Baltimore, crappy weather and several aches and pains I thought it'd be an idea to stick in Baltimore for a whole day and get an extra night in the hostel.

American Visionary Art Museum

Baltimore is home to the National Aquarium. I always seem to end up in aquariums or zoos for some reason (maybe because I like them) so why stop now? Met a guy from the hostel (Dev) in there and so we stuck together for the next adventure - American Visionary Art Museum. Some crazy things in there - some visionary, some just bad. Particular highlights were a sphere made from 18000 bras and a multiple ping-pong ball run made of matchsticks depicting numerous iconic scenes of San Francisco. Final trip was to Walters Art Museum before relaxing with me Kindle for the evening.

I've made a couple of updates to the progress page and feel as though I need to clarify the injuries received so far. The first was getting scratched by a kitten using my head as a springboard across a sofa. The second was cutting my finger slightly while trying to get keys out of me over-packed bag.
