HOWEVER. Due to an unfortunate sunblock malfunction, I wound up about as pink as a Maryland steamed crab. 24 hours later, and my face isn't too bad-- but the backs of my legs are all sensitive and tingly despite not turning red. Odd.
Today, I went to the Baltimore Book Thing. Tricky to find, but a fascinating place. Then I went here.




You had to see that coming. It's a nice little place. I mean, it's not like it has anything on Phipps. But the blooming plumeria smelled heavenly, the strawberry guavas made my mouth water, and the orchids were respectable (certainly better than the orchids I saw at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens). As I said to my mother, my ideal Sunday was spent surrounded by books and then at the conservatory. If it were game day, I then would have gotten home in time to whip up snacks while watching the pregame and then watch the Steelers game. That.. could be why I spend so much time alone. ;>

OMG free books?!?!?! I am so coming down to go there!! Er, and visit. Yeah, that's what I meant. . .
It's like a used bookstore with tons of books roughly (but barely) separated by topic and otherwise all mixed up-- and you can take as many as you want. And you can drop off any books you want to pass on. Lots and lots of crap, but I found some decent ones!
