Took the MRT into downtown today only cost $1.60 each way so cheap but took about 40 mins with all the stops. Downtown Baltimore is similar to Auckland with a harbour front and lots of commerce. There are a few museum ships to visit one is the US Constellation which is the only navy ship left from the civil war. There is also the only coast guard ship that survived Pearl Harbour and a old Navy sub. I visited the national aquarium which was really good they had a really cool frog exhibit which I have included a few photos. I then walked uptown following the rail track and came to the famous Lexington food market (apparently). This market had every type of food you imagined for sale some weird stuff too. Baltimore is famous for its crab so everywhere you go crab cakes are for sale they all go on how you need to try their crab, they also breed special crabs to eat and the cook them just as they have shed their shell so you don't need to peel the shell off you eat all of it! One of the main differences to the west coast it instead of lots of Hispanics there lots of African Americans every where the women are so funny they sing all the time to pass the day by while they work they sing while they serve you. Anyway conference starts tomorrow so will let you know what that's like tomorrow.

So what kind of weird foods did you try? Great to see photos on your blog. Love the frog! Will show Kindergarten children tomorrow.
I guess the crab is on your diet and especially all the new types of fruit and veges you will be trying as well.
So when you come home tomatoes etc will be on the menu.
Photos are great and we loved the frog - big momma isnt it.
Good luck for conference.
Luv Dad and Mumxxxx
