First, she checked out the Hirshhorn art museum. There is an outdoor sculpture garden and a few sculptures scattered around in front of the museum. "Needle Tower" is held together only by wires in tension, and is very tall.</div>

This year is Greenbelt's 75th anniversary.<br />
<br />
Greenbelt was a planned city, built by the government during the New Deal. The original area of the city consists of two ring roads of residential homes around a central business/civic area. The central area is called the Roosevelt Center. One of the main attractions of the Roosevelt Center is the Greenbelt Arts center:<br />

On Sunday, Anuenue went downtown to check out the holiday decorations in DC. There was track work on Metro, so we took the "scenic detour" aka 1.5 mile walk from Archives to Eastern Market, cutting through part of the National Mall.</div>

Anuenue checks out the statue of Ulysses S. Grant at the base of the Capitol building.</div>

There is a view of the other end of the Mall, with the Washington Monument. Contrary to many tourists expectations, the Mall is merely an open grassy (or more usually muddy) area ringed round with museums and federal buildings. </div>

There are even some cannons on the top of the hill, used during the Civil War to threaten the business district of Baltimore to ensure that the city and state would remain loyal to the Union. Riots that accompanied the Union seizure of Baltimore lead to the writing of what is now the state song, the lyrics of which encourage Maryland to secede and join the Confederacy. Really. </div>

After lunch, Anuenue took a stroll around Greenbelt Lake. The lake was dug out by hand in the center of town. Although it looks rural, the beltway runs adjacent to the lake and the sound of cars is always audible in the park.<br />

A gravel trail winds around the lake, a little more than a mile long. There are lots of joggers, families, and people fishing along the lake edge.<br />

Today Anuenue headed south to St. Mary's county. It was a long drive in the car, past DC and into rural Maryland. She even drove by some buggies at the Mennonite farmer's market. </div>

Finally she reached Oakley, Maryland - previously an area of tobacco
farms, there are now corn and soybean farms and commuters from
Washington.</div>

Down at the dock is the ship - the Sae Hrafn, a replica Viking longship! The Sae Hrafn is waiting for the crew to arrive, and so is Anuenue. <br />

While the ship was being readied, Anuenue checked out the oyster floats near the dock. She also investigated this empty crab pot. Most of the crabs were in hiding today, as they start to move to warmer waters in the fall.<br />

There is a bit of a headwind, and Anuenue wishes she had brought a hairband. She meets some Vikings (mostly not in costume) and some other guests, but since the oars are too big, she is exempt from rowing.</div>

After getting a push from a motorboat, the ship reaches Blackistone Island, now called St. Clements Island. The island is in the lower tidal Potomac River, and is the site where the first Maryland colonists landed in 1634. There is a dock, so the ship stops for a quick visit.</div>

There is a lighthouse on the island, the original lighthouse was built in 1851 but destroyed in the 20th century. It has recently been rebuilt as a replica of the original. The gigantic cross commemorates the site of the first Catholic mass in English North America. There is also a black-eyed susan garden, the state flower, but only a few blossoms are left.<br />
