Top Reasons to Go to Baltimore, Maryland

A Crab Feast in Baltimore

I can’t believe I haven’t posted a blog in two months! That might be the longest I have gone without putting up a story at Bonjour Colorado. I wish I could say that I have been on hiatus, cruising the Greek Isles. But no, I have been on a very different type of journey. 

I had a hip replacement in early July. The surgery went well but the recovery was a bigger deal than I anticipated. Plus, I wasn’t very productive leading up to it because the pain level had hit quite the crescendo. I will be writing about this experience very soon. And you can bet I will give the story my best travel writer/ski instructor spin.

Baltimore’s Renowned Row Houses

It hasn’t been easy getting back into the writing mode but fortunately I broke the ice a couple of week’s ago with some of my Discovery Map entries. The nasty remarks I heard about Baltimore from Donald Trump a while back, catapulted me into writing up that destination. I love Baltimore and have visited there a few times. It’s a wonderful city! I have a real sweet spot for historic Fell’s Point in particular. 

Next time I go, I want to explore the Inner Harbor more and top off the visit with a terrific crab meal at one of that area’s renowned seafood restaurants. Know that blue crab season is going off right now (through fall), so let that be one of your top reasons to plan a trip there within the upcoming weeks.
