Last night we went out in Baltimore for my birthday! This was the second out of four (yes, four!) birthday celebrations. How sweet is that. We started out at Ale Mary's. They had typical bar food that wasn't great but wasn't horrible. It was a fun atmosphere with good prices, so over all good choice. They had priest and nun pictures to designate the bathrooms and mints in Holy Water fonts. Maybe a little sacrilegious, but I was down. From there we traveled to The Horse You Came In On Saloon. It is Baltimore's oldest saloon, the only bar in Maryland to be open before, during and after prohibition and the oldest place in America to continuously be operated as a saloon. It has been a bar, and only a bar, since 1775. Whoa. We recently went on a Haunted History tour of Baltimore where we also learned the Horse is haunted by Edgar Allen Poe. It was one of his favorite places to drink and rumored that he was walking home from this very bar on the night he died. They had some pretty cool, yet dangerous, saddle stools too.
Fun night. Fun people. Stayed awake until 3am! Thanks to everyone who helped it happen. Now it's back to the real world for a few days....
