I’m in baltimore! or…the baltimore area, visiting paul’s family and eating baltimore foods.
yesterday we got crab cakes for lunch from a local place and they were very tasty. also, very attractive. I’ll upload the pictures once I get to my parents’ house later this week.

I almost forgot to take pictures, but paul reminded me, he’s so useful. then of course he had to explain to his parents why I was taking pictures of the crab cakes. he said something like “no, she doesn’t HAVE to, she just wants to” and I said “my family will ask.”
it’s true. I feared public outroar if I ate huge lump crab cakes and told you how tasty they were and failed to provide pictoral evidence. we also had snowballs yesterday afternoon and I took pictures of that too. I had the egg custard flavor and paul had skylite which was basically blue. the snowball is like a snowcone, but a better, more flavorful, with a marshmellow topping that’s like runny marshmellow creme. the egg custard is apparently one of the most popular flavors, and it was quite tasty.

Yep, fear of familial retribution has no geographical limits.
Sounds like a great trip so far - have fun!
