Baltimore's Inner Harbour

Today, I spent the day walking and sailing around the Inner Harbour and Patapsco river area. The Water Taxis are an excellent way of getting to the different parts, although you can also walk between many of the taxi points if you prefer. It was hot again today, with temperatures in the high 80s.
I had lunch at the Waterfront Kitchen (at another of the water taxi stops), which was nice - it was almost empty, as it was a late lunch, just before they closed. The food was good, but the view over the harbour is better.
The Fells Point area in the first two photos has lots of shops and restaurants around the square, with cobbled roads and a number of trees to give shade from the sun. It's also the main transfer point for the different water taxi destinations. I decided to take a trip around the harbour by staying on the boat as it went over to Fort McHenry and then onto Captain James' Landing, from where I walked back to Fells Point where I had an ice cream and then waited to catch the water taxi running the inner harbour route back to downtown so I could go back to my hotel to change before going to the ballgame.
