Maryland Day


Maryland Day flag raising ceremony, which was very casual with no speeches, only a recitation of the pledge of allegiance. An amateur marching band, some navy cadets (the kiddies, not the real ones), and a Miss Teen Maryland who was freezing in a very short dress. Then, we tried to go to some museums/open houses, but none of them opened before 12! So we ended up looking at a historical garden, then going home, just as everything was getting started. A touch frustrating, but the late start seems very common around here (shops don't open until 10ish either). The flag that was raised was the state flag of Maryland, which is very colourful. I'll try for a picture at a later date
