Annapolis

So glad our friends suggested we come here. One of the most interesting places I have been with so much history and over 100 homes that were built in the 17 and 18 hundreds. Walking the brick sidewalks and going down the narrow streets with the houses right on the walkway as well as viewing the grand brick mansions--it has filled up two days for us. We just happened into a little house and here was a volunteer doing his thing. We spent an hour with him as he talked about his life on the Maryland frontier and even though we have been to many historical things, we learned a lot of new. Do you know where the expressions " it costs a buck". lock, stock and barrell", "don't go off half cocked" come from? Everything he had he either made himself or friends did after the fashion of the frontier times. What a treat. Of course Annapolis also caters to the wealthy and we are most certainly not the biggest boat in the harbor!!!!
We have definitely gotten into the lazy days of summer and are really enjoying the Chesapeake so far.
