Because it was so warm and humid, we didn’t get to see much of Baltimore other than the hotel and what was visible from our room. What we did see, though, was very reminiscent of Europe, with church steeples clearly visible above the surrounding buildings
It’s something we should have expected, probably, as Baltimore was founded much earlier than West-Coast cities, so would have more European influences. What we could see, though, seemed to be more “all of a piece” – as if it were constructed much faster than European cities.
We don’t know if we’ll ever return to Baltimore – and certainly will avoid it when it’s hot and humid (or when it’s cold and snowy). We’re really not used to the humidity; even though it may get very hot in California, it’s almost never humid. All of you who live with this: it’s a big struggle for those of us who do not.
