Dan! I just took a look at the 'extra' pics you took in Annapolis (MD
capital)
You took one pic at the top of Main St, right in front of the Treaty of
Paris Restaurant.
A very good friend of mine is(was) the executive chef of the establishment
for nearly 10 years!
I wish I had known you were in the area. From my driveway to Main St is
only about 15 minutes!

Subject: [Spits] that 48-state capitol tour
