I am on the road. Not really, but that sounded a lot sexier than I am in a hotel room watching the Discovery Channel pretending to shave 15 minutes from my talk.
A new city is always disorienting for me, especially one like Baltimore that has so many invisible barriers that I am not to cross. Even though I was just going down the street, something I would walk in any other city, I was instructed to take a cab. Not because I would get lost but because I might get into an unsavory area.
My cabbie told me that the city has gotten a lot more safe in the past few years. "Look," he said, as he pointed to all the cops on the corner of every street.
My favorite part of Baltimore has been the Yuengling and the gelato. Like always I stumbled into a bar, and was happy to see my favorite beer on tap. Then from the bar I stumbled down the street and went into an organic gelato house. The milk was from local dairies and the fruit from local farms. I had a granny smith apple and gianduja, a gross combination unless the both were exceptional. Good thing they were.
That is it for now. I am sure I will have more to report soon.

Good luck et#1!!! I know you'll do great, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed non-the-less.
Oh I love going to DC for many reasons, including the yeungling! Isn't it funny that what is generally unavailable is always more appealing?
ooooh keep us posted on everything including gelato flavors!
and all the cute scientists that you hook up with. (hopefully.)
