It’s been a fun summer and fall. Obviously, so much fun that I been too busy to blog!
So—a few moments where I remember to take pictures (kinda):
Slaughter Across the Water: One of the great things about Annapolis is the local color. A little background. Annapolis is divided (partly) by Spa Creek. On one side is the main city and on the other side is Eastport are. Every year, there is a huge tug of war called the Slaughter across the Water. Basically, it’s the Maritime Republic of Eastport (MRE) against Annapolis as the MRE fights for their independence.
Mostly it’s a festival atmosphere with beer, bands, food, good times and (of course) a tug of war. On a special note—Annapolis was working on the dock this year so the Slaughter wasn’t across the water...it was across a symbolic baby pool. Still fun!
Fado’s—a great Irish bad in the China town section of DC. Weird, huh? A great place to go if you want pound back a few pints of Guinness before noon and watch rugby on a big-screen television. I went there for the Argentina vs. South Africa playoff and had a blast! Even the Ambassador from South Africa was there.
Sightseeing: I finally saw the Whitehouse! Very pretty and the protesters were interesting. I didn’t see the President but I think I saw a few Secret Service.

So if I come see you, will you take me to Fado's? And the Whitehouse? And the Smithsonian?
If you come here, I can show you a few glaciers. And mountains. And sea otters.
