Bob and cousin Barbara from Philadelphia took us on a tour of Baltimore rowhouses. In the past, residents painted their window screens to differentiate the homes and to provide privacy when windows were open on hot summer days. The remaining screens are decorated with primitive scenes of lakes and hillsides adding charm to a small ethnic neighborhood.
We then joined the Steinberg/Levy clan at the Walters Museum for Games, Gizmos and Toys in the Attic, created by Walter Wick (no relation to the museum Walter’s). Ranging in age from nine to seventy, all of us were delighted by these ingenious works of art. For a real treat, check out his web site at www.walterwick.com.
A creative construction artist and master photographer, he designs and builds fantasy creations that enchant young and old. He has created the I Spy series of books, put his own twist on classic children’s stories and challenged collectors of Games Magazine. His works provided us with a wonderful afternoon.
No trip to Maryland is complete without a meal that centers on crab.
Nick’s Restaurant was so good we plan to eat there each time we visit DC.
