Mary’s Sight-Seeing in Charm City

Friday, March 30, 2007 6:15 pm

ACRL is a busy conference and I’m just now catching my breath and taking a moment to blog!

Yesterday morning, I had some free time so I went exploring. I walked the short block to the Inner Harbor, where I first went to the visitors’ center. Then I went to the 27th floor of Baltimore’s World Trade Center, the Top of the World, for a 360 degree view of the city.

Next I walked Historic Charles Street, taking in the Baltimore Basilica (the first Cathedral in America), the Enoch Pratt Free Library, the Peabody Institute and Library, the Walters Art Museum, Washington Monument and, finally, Beadazzled (bead heaven)! As I returned to my hotel and the convention center, I took a side route to take in the 220 year old Lexington Market.

Check out some of my photos on Flickr.

I’ll probably be posting some more sight-seeing info as I go to several receptions tomorrow and try to make it to Fort McHenry on my way out of town.
