During the spring break, we visited Maryland, focusing on the northern Chesapeake Bay, between Havre de Grace and the capital, Annapolis.
Havre de Grace
The tourist season has not yet started in Havre de Grace. The views and the peacefulness of the waterfront more than compensated for few closed restaurants and an ice-cream shop.

I have read about the Little Free Libraries, but it was the first time I saw one. I wanted to add Initial Conditions to the collection, but of course, I didn’t have a copy with me.

There’ve been the occasional Little Free Library in our town. The most interesting ones I’d seen were in Traverse City, Michigan, though. They had one by the State Theater there which imitated the building in its look. I believe it also was well-stocked with movie-related books.
