In March 2008 I took a trip up to Annapolis, Maryland to see meet some church planters and see if I wanted to eventually move there to plant on my own. While I was there I walked around downtown Annapolis and the cross-bridge community of Eastport. These are a few photos from Annapolis.
Ruins of the Patapsco Female Institute in Ellicott City, Maryland | March 2008
My friends Adam and MO in Ellicott City, just outside of Baltimore, sent me to the Patapsco Female Institute ruins on the hill overlooking their city center. You’ll have to read more about it on their website, because for the life of me I can’t figure out how it ended up in ruins.

First Baptist Church of Eastport, Maryland | March 2008
Eastport is just across a downtown bridge in Annapolis, but it’s definitely a unique community. Eastport seceeded from the Union on Super Bowl Sunday in 1998 over the closing of the aforementioned bridge, forming the Maritime Republic of Eastport. In addition to a wonderful sense of humor, I found the community to have beautiful homes and a great atmosphere. I must have caught it at the right time, because all the flowers were blooming, too.
