I was in Baltimore in June for The National Conference on Community Volunteering and National Service. Luckily, I had a little time to check out town on Saturday before the conference (many, many heartfelt thanks to Annalisa and RaeLynne for their hospitality, tours, meals, and theater opportunities at the Everyman Theater!).

I spent the rest of the week at the conference doing 12 hour days full of workshops and receptions. While I didn't have time to visit any sights, I did have time to snap a few pictures of the outsides of some places near the Inner Harbor. :)

Thanks again to Annalisa, RaeLynne, and Sameer for their terrific hospitality! It’s always great to catch up with far away friends!
