Also a perfect day in October to visit Baltimore's Inner Harbor, which I had not seen since the late 1970s when Harborplace was built.

Of course, it's not hard to find a pirate at Harborplace.

A chocolate factory at Harborplace, popular because the attendants sing, clap, and get shoppers involved, who then get free samples of fudge.

More of Baltimore's Inner Harbor.

The National Aquarium in Baltimore, also known just as the Baltimore Aquarium, one of the most popular attractions in the city.
