Baltimore, Harlem Week and More, August 2012 - Page YYY

On August 4, 2012, Elton and I went to The National Great Blacks in Wax Museum in Baltimore.   
The information and exhibits in the museum were very informative and moving.   After the museum, we
visited the
Inner Harbor.    The Inner Harbor has changed a lot since my last visit in the 80's.

On August 15th, it poured.  This kid was practicing his "karate" moves in the rain.  He made his moves and
enjoyed the rain as he did so.  I took the photos from my terrace.  Luckily the lady crossing the 99th Street overpass  
had an umbrella and a raincoat!   Other photos include colorful artwork on side of a truck.

Received group photo from L&M Tours on December 12, 2012 -  For some reason, I am not
in the photo.  Where was I and the other passengers? There were about  24 passengers
on this tour.  Taken next to the museum.
