baltimore 2

In a couple hours we're heading for the airport, wrapping up our time in Baltimore and beginning Part 2 of our 'Determin the Future' journey.

It's been a full few days eating good food, checking out neighbourhoods we may want to live in this fall, appreciating a real summer and having a wonderful visit with Lorah and her amazing fiance.

It's been nice to walk for miles and still discover something new (in Aberdeen you can see the city in a day). We've seen one of the poorest parts of America (from the safety of a car) and some of the poshest parts of Maryland. It's a gorgeous state, but one with plenty of problems.

At this point nothing is clear. Falling asleep last night Dean expressed a sense anxiety that the decision isn't yet obvious. Hopefully these next couple days in Oxford will make it all apparent.
