Moleskine Trip Day2...

On day 2 of the Moleskine Trip we spent the day in Baltimore. The first stop was a place called The Book Thing. It's a non profit where you can bring books to donate if you'd like or you can just take books, FOR FREE! Here's the front. The garage door is where you can drop off books that you want to donate. Or you can walk in the entrance and wander around to find some treasures.

Inside there is a curtain that seperates the area closed to the public where they sort the books. This sign says it all. Everyone has their limit!

The books are shelved according to topic, but the shelves are disorganized. They have so much turn over that I'm sure that job would be impossible.

Here's a member of the Moleskine Club, Bruce. He's deep in thought trying to figure out which one of these hundreds of books he's going to choose to come home with him.

After we had gathered our free bags of literary goodies we loaded ourself back into the car and headed to one of The Bear's favorite places, The Lexington Market. He was introduced to this magical place some years ago by some co workers. Here is where he gets the best fish sandwich and oh so fresh oysters!

We parked the car in the garage and walked in. When we walked through the doors we were greated by murals on the walls! Down the Rabbit Hole anyone?

At the Lexington Market you can find just about anything you could want. From beautiful fresh fish.

To fresh produce.

They have crabs, racoon meat, rabbit, on and on. If you want to eat it or cook it then it's here baby!

Then of course you must eat the fish sandwich. My mother has been hearing about this place for years from The Bear. It's a simple fish fillet on white bread. And of course you can't eat at our favorite food stand and NOT eat some oysters! Mmmm, yummy to the tummy.

On our way back to the car lookie what we found! Look familiar anyone?

After the market we headed to The American Visionary Art Museum! What a blast this place is. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures while there. 1 I was feeling a lot of pain and 2 you aren't allowed to take photos inside the museum. If you are ever in the area of the Baltimore Inner Harbor please go and check it out.

After the museum we went out to dinner and had a great meal. I even pulled out the old Moleskine and sketched the peppermill. What a wonderful end to a wonderful day!
