Oysters, Dolphins, Puffy Dresses, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera...
It is always a surprise if someone called you up and told you to pack your bags because "we're going North and the train's leaving in an hour and a half."
And that was what happened on Friday (Feb 11, 2005). I frantically packed my dufflebag with schtuff, putting little thoughts in what I needed while my neighbor downstairs came knocking on my door, blabbering about a lost cat that found its way to her doorstep. I finally managed to kick her out of my apartment, stuffing the last pieces of clothing that I thought I might die without.
The trip up was definitely fun. Luke and I sang along to Savage Garden (HUH?? Excuse me???). Well, yeah, we did. As bad as Savage Garden was, I still love the first three songs on the CD, and the guitarist was hot!!
Don't you think so???
Anywhoo, not to get sidetracked here, this is what we did:
1. Hotel: Peabody Court, across Baltimore's Washington Monument. We prefer to call it The Orange Pole, since it's lit up with an orangey light at dark. Our room had the view of The Orange Pole, not so much breathtaking as it was funny as hell.
2. Broadway Show (my first!): The King and I. Great show, funny and as hilarious as Yul Brenner's from my childhood.
3. Lexington Market. Not the greatest area in town, but fun, with raw oyster bar, and about 150 different food vendors.
4. The Inner Harbor / Aquarium. Very commercialized. Had a lot of fun at the aquarium. The all new dolphin show was not really all that, but fun nevertheless. I've seen better dolphin shows in Seaworld in HK.
5. Hitch. Took a break from driving in Fredricksburg, and watched a movie. It was quite enjoyable up to the point where he came back to her and begged for her to come back into his life. It honestly pissed me off to no end. She was the one who fucked up the relationship, and now he's the one begging. I wished the movie didn't have to end up that way.
That was a rough summary of our trip to Baltimore. As the King would end it, there will be more trips to come. Hopefully to Montreal, Italy, and Alaska, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera...
