Sunrise at the beach!

by tpangelinan

If you can drag your self out of bed early enough you can catch some beautiful sunrises on the beach. You will not be the only one, many people seem to grab their coffee and camera and run to the beach for sunrise. Kinda the opposite of Key West Sunset Celibration, maybe they should call it Ocean City Sunrise Celibration!

	Go to the Beach! Tip Rating:

Ocean City MD

by tpangelinan

If you love beaches like we do, go check out Ocean City Md. This place is huge, over 140 blocks of slow moving traffic, but it's worth it once you reach the boardwalk. The beaches are cleaned every night and patrolled. Very clean and nice public restrooms close by. This beach is very wide in some points, over 100 yards from boardwalk to water. Plenty of room for everyone, and beleive it gets filled up fast so get there early.

Fenwick Island Lighthouse,

by tpangelinan

This Lighthouse was first lighted in 1858, the third-order lens, eighty-three feet above sea level. This original tower is still functional to this day, or night as you can see. This lighthouse is virtually on the Mason-Dixon line separating Delaware and Maryland.
For more information see our Fenwick Island page

	Monocacy River Valley Tip Rating:

By Leipzig on October 17, 2006

Maryland Page by Leipzig

by Leipzig

Over 12,000 years ago a semi-normadic group of Native Americans settled down here because of the rich offer on fish. In 18th century British and German settler built their settlements here and started to grow crop. They used the river to transport goods to the Potomac and then to the Atlantic. According to my travellers guide book this is one of the most scenic valleys in the USA but as it was a very rainy day I hardly could see the other side of the valley, so I neither can agree to this nor disagree.

	Inner Harbour Tip Rating:

Baltimore's Inner Harbour

by b1bob

The Inner Harbour is a close-in cluster of must see activities as well as shopping and dining opportunities, and sports travel. The National Aquarium, Little Italy, and Fort McHenry where the Star Spangled Banner was composed by Francis Scott Key during the War of 1812. There are plenty of dining opportunities including the Rusty Scupper and a multitude of Italian eateries in Little Italy. The Baltimore Orioles and the Ravens both now have their homefields in the inner harbour area. Because I was there with my boss and some colleagues, I didn't have time to really do the area justice. I was there in 1994, 3 years before they restored the Power Plant building. What I do know is that it has become a model for urban revitalisation other cities, including nearby Richmond, Virginia, are trying to emulate.

	Along the Potomac River Tip Rating:

By Leipzig on October 18, 2006

Maryland Page by Leipzig

by Leipzig, 1 more photos

As you can see it was not raining all days. While walking along the Potomac River on the border to Virginia I had the luck to catch some sunrays. Actually the photos do not show the Potomac itself but one of its tributaries. After the torriential rainfall in the past days a lot of debris and wood had been agglomerated on bridges and other obstacles. For me it was impressing how mother nature is cleaning itself. One day before the water was dirty and full of flotsam and now you might be tempted to drink this clean looking water.

	Monocacy River Trail Tip Rating:

by Leipzig, 1 more photos

The Monocacy River is a tributary of the Potomac. The river and its banks are home to varity of birds, fish and small mamals. Its water is clear but does not invite for bathing as it is extremely cold. Walking along the trail gives you a great insight to mother nature. I could see beavers as well as some deer. Unfortunately it was a very rainy day and as I was almost completely soaked I couldn't walk the complete trail.

	Germantown Tip Rating:

Germantown Visitor Centre

by Leipzig, 2 more photos

Actually, I stopped here because of its name. I expected some traditional German
architecture but I was very disappointed. The town itself consists of modern
brickstone buildings and nothing reminds of German heritage. You can see some
wooden Victorian houses only in the northern part.

	Frederick Tip Rating:

town hall

by Leipzig

Frederick is the forth-largest city in Maryland. The city, like most towns in this region, was founded by German immigrants in 18th century. Frederick is home to the Museum of Civil War Medicine and in my eyes the most interesting place of the city. Check out this website for more info about the museum.

	ANTIETAM BATTLE FIELD Tip Rating:

Updated By lmkluque on October 24, 2002

Maryland Page by lmkluque

by lmkluque

This is sketch depicts the battle at Antietam, where Union (North/Lincoln's side) troops repelled Robert E. Lee's Confederate ( South's side) invasion in 1862.

This day of fighting was the bloodiest confrontation of the Civil War and the road on which it was fought was forevermore called, 'Bloody Lane'

The people in the surrounding areas didn't believe in the seriousness of this battle and came to watch the fighting, as if it were a sporting event. Of course, it wasn't, as they soon learned!
