Getting Ready

Today was a day off from all things medical so we decided to explore more of Baltimore.  We chose Federal Hill--one of the original parts of Baltmore so close to Fort McHenry that residents could watch the shelling of Fort McHenry by the British during the War of 1812.  Many of the old row houses are still standing.  We found a great market there called Cross Market.  It is an indoor market with stalls.  Each vendor carries something differnet--cheese, meat, seafood (including a raw oyster bar) as well as prepared foods for take out.  We want to learn how to prepare the local fish so now we know where to buy them. 

Also on Ernie's list was to find a barber shop.  The chemo drugs he's taking will probably cause him to lose his hair so he decided to get a jump on things and have it shorn instead.   As the barber was shaving his head, Ernie joked that he should have donated to Locks of Love.  I tried to get him to emulate our friend Gil but he decided not to go completely clean-shaven right now.
