I had an awesome time and met some really cool people, here's some nature shots, the rest of them will be posted on my photo blog.

 

also it was good to hear good messages on the holy spirit. tomorrow another Baltimore post.

The Phoenix Shot Tower

This is a tower that has a small museum in it.  I found out through the grape vine that you can't go up to the top of the tower which was the main reason I was going to visit it.  So I took a photo of it instead.  The admission price is $5.

scary woods

"Woods choke off views and leave you muddled without bearings.  They make you feel small and confused and vulnerable.  Stand in the woods and you only sense [the big space].  They are a vast, featureless nowhere.  And they are alive."

quote from Bill Bryson from his book A Walk in the Woods

St. Leo the Great Baltimore

This is a Historic Church in Baltimore's Little Italy section.  I thought it was beautiful from the outside, I didn't go inside because of time constraints.  This is a Catholic church, and I'm not Catholic just if anybody was wondering.

This church was established in 1881.

Pinnacle Point Overlook

I went to this overlook after going to susquehannock state park, beautiful.








Here's the map of the overlook.

Here's some scenery (extra pics)

 

 

Baltimore Civil War Museum

The Baltimore Civil War museum is small but important.  The cost $3 for adults $2 for younger people.

I will admit I did find the guy at the museum who I guess is the tour guide.  I found him to be really annoying.

The Museum is really small, 5-20 minutes.  I left fast because I couldn't stand the tour guide.  He had this grating personality.

Statues at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore

Cheetah Statue - didn't see any cheetahs



Gorilla Statue - didn't see any Gorilla's either

Polar Bear Statue - they had this animal

Otter Statue - didn't see any

 

Progressive Field

I went to a game here (which I will write about later) in July.  The stadium was cool, I didn't walk around and check it out to the extent I would have liked because of when I got to the stadium but it looked cool.

Columbus Zoo

I went to this zoo on july 11, 2015.  The zoo was cool, I saw most of the animals, and it was interesting.  I didn't go into the water park because I honestly never thought a zoo would have a water park, it looked cool.  I also got a triple a discount which was nice.

Sal's Restaurant & Pizzeria

This pizza place is average, sometimes its good sometimes its lousy.  The other issue about this place is they won't put certain things on pizza's.  This has never happened to me but I've been inside the restaurant when a customer has asked.  I guess at this place the customer isn't always right.  The décor is nice and they have lunch specials.

In the Kendig Square strip mall

cheese slices $2, anything else $2.75

walkout (dw)

My family was at Disney World in the mid-90s.  During our visit, my parents and I walked out of an enclosed roller coaster, we never rode it.  I think my brother rode it.  I can’t remember the name of the coaster.  We did ride other coasters at the park that day.

Now I love roller coasters.  When this incident occurred I was in my early teens.
