Ice
Skating in Baltimore
|
Want
to tour through Oxford, Cambridge, Vienna and Berlin without
stepping foot off American soil? It's not impossible -- all
you need to do is visit Maryland to experience these European-style
towns that are rich in colonial American history. And while
you're in Maryland, chances are that you'll come across water
-- the largest body of water in Maryland is the Chesapeake Bay,
but the state also has nearly 50 rivers and creeks, plus streams,
lakes, ponds and the Atlantic Ocean to boot.
Maryland
is also growing as a business destination. Baltimore, which
has been part of a major urban renewal, is home to a 300,000
square foot exhibition center which has an additional 54 meeting
rooms. The convention center is conveniently linked by overhead
walkways to the bustling Inner Harbor, hotels and fine dinning.
And while in Baltimore for business, take the time to explore
the city's many attractions, such as the science center, the
aquarium, an the nation's third-oldest zoo!

Historical
Notes:
In 1808 with the suggestion of the president of St. Mary's
College in Baltimore, Elizabeth Seton started a school.
She and two other young women, who helped her in her work, began
plans for a Sisterhood. They established the first free Catholic
school in America.
