Yeah but you didn't have to drive 7 hours to get a decent crab cake!  I'm 
kinda fond of Baltimore as long as I can be within a few blocks of the inner 
harbor.  I don't care much for the rest of it.

It was hard work but we didn't know anything else and we were all in good 
shape.  It would be tough on anyone over 40 no matter what kind of shape 
they were in.
