A Walk in Annapolis
Walking downtown is always interesting but today it was especially interesting. When we first left the garage we heard bagpipes and getting to Main Street we saw one regularly dressed man with a bagpipe and another in a kilt. I thought it was some unknown holiday but then we saw a bride and groom behind them and the rest of the bridal party and guests following, a wedding procession.
Another unusual site was a doggie stroller: a little toy dog in a bright pink and black special stroller.
And then three men in colonial costume, which isn't such a strange site because there are a couple tour groups whose guides dress up in historical outfits, but these men were carrying muskets: guides don't ususally carry weaponry. In the paper I saw an article about them on the front page and they are recreating the walk some Revolutionary War soldiers took from Rhode Island to Virginia. http://www.hometownannapolis.com/cgi-bin/read/2006/09_16-27/TOP

They just wanted to carry off the tour with a bang. *ba dum ching*
(I don't know where this knack for appalling puns has come from but it has been getting worse (or better hehe) of late. I do apologise. hehehe)
