Learning about the connection between smell and taste

Nothing like a hands-on exhibit of the large intestine that makes bowel sounds as you push the pretend food through! :-)

Baltimore, MD: first, the hotel

This is the hotel we stay in most of the time when we visit Baltimore. It's just a few blocks from Inner Harbor, so we're able to walk there while Matt has the car for work. It's a Holiday Inn built inside an old bank.

Closer view of the mural on the health clinic wall. The monument at the top center of the photo is the first Washington Monument. We managed to make our way there from the hotel on foot during one of our trips, planning to tour inside, but the gates were chained and locked up. We later found out that it was closed due to safety issues.

Carnegie Science Center:

The Sports Works building at the Carnegie Science Center is a regular stop for us each time we are in or near Pittsburgh. Love this place!

Sorry for the smudgy cellphone pics. :)
