Maryland.....

 

is this weeks stop on the Big Road Trip.  This is what I have learned, it has very varied scenery and is a must unusual shape.

I noticed a town called Cumberland so, of course, I had to visit.  
It looks interesting and it has some very nice houses for sale.
Red Crab Soup is a speciality and this recipe makes it sound good, I might try it one day.
Baltimore has one of my favoured NFL teams, The Ravens, could be something to do with quaterback Joe Flacco.

My last bit of learning is that it was in Maryland that the Ameican National Anthem "The Star Spangled Banner" was written. So I made a tag as my piece of art work.

Virginia next, better start looking out some photographs because I have really been there.
