Thanks to our fabulous hosts, Ellen (ellielou), Frank (Frankcanfly) and Larry (littlesam1), BaltOberfest was a blast! We went to an Orioles game, duckpin bowling (I think I pulled a muscle in my butt LOL), karaoke, a real Baltimore crab fest and Latin dancing. I know you guys spent a lot of time putting this all together, THANKS A BUNCH!!!!
This was my 2nd visit to Baltimore and I was a little surprised at how much I enjoyed just wandering the city, looking at the interesting architecture. And what I really enjoyed about the weekend was that the hosts made sure we got a truly Baltimore experience.
In addition to all the fabulous events planned for the group, the weekend had plenty of free time for people to explore the city or in many cases recover from the prior evening's festivites. I didn't get to visit all of the places on my list of things to see and I didn't even make a dent in the list of restaurants I printed out but I guess you should always leave something for the next visit :-)
My page is, of course, from the tourist's perspective, for a really terrific view on Baltimore from a local's perspective, go have a look at Ellielou's Baltimore page which covers many things that the guidebooks don't, not to mention taking REALLY good care of your stomach!
- Pros:BaltOberfest was a blast!
- Cons:Didn't get to eat nearly enough crab

As ever, a wonderful insight into a place that I've never really considered before as a destination.
Edgar Allen Poe's grave + srumptious food markets sounds like a pretty persuasive case to me!

Baltimore doesn't really pop up as a must see US destination, but I found it to be interesting. Thanks for stopping by!
The Walters Museum sounds like a great place to spend a couple of days, and have eggs for breakfast. Great job of commentary, and the pics of buildings/architecture is wonderful
That George Peabody Library staircase is something else, wow!!! Lovely page kristi, thanks! Still no passport... eek!
I'm not looking, per se, but uh... I'd be happy to read some! ; )
Thanks it's very nice page
made it home late last night (or early this a.m. if you want to be technical)....btw, I'm so enjoying this the hunter becomes the hunted crap; vt's own little peyton place!
While you collect Bday meals, I'm collecting Bday massages :) I like my idea better! lol
Kristi, Thanks so much for the birthday wishes! It was fun revisiting our Baltoberfest get together! Jill
Very interesting page ;-)
Thnaks for signing my Baltoberfest postcard :-) Great pics of some not-very-shy-or-retiring types here haha!!
