I love Annapolis, Maryland - the wonderful old city with riverscapes and bay views on every side.
Over the years, I have had several occasions to visit the ancient capitol building, the Naval Academy, and the splendid campus of St. John's College (still offering a curriculum based upon the "Great Books"). There are antique shops, boat shows, and fabulous restaurants in abundance.
Annapolis is an old city, and the capitol of Maryland.
Here are some scenes in Annapolis circa 1925

I haven't been in Annapolis for nine years, but the buildings were there when the century began.
I am moved by the beauty of these old towns, Marilee, as you are.
I am a little concerned that you seem to forget where you live. :-)
I don't think that odd, Kris. Both cities are very old, and have preserved a skyline that reflects their age.
Precisely, Trish.
I once had the opportunity to experience all three in rapid succession - returned from boating to a fine dinner in an ancient tavern.
I visited Annapolis for the first time two years ago, Peter.
I loved the town and saw some of the sites (St. Anne's Church, the Carroll Mansion) that you have included here. I enjoyed a wonderful lunch on the waterfront, as you mentioned above.
