WEEK THREE




The view from our hotel in Baltimore
 American Visionary Museum in Baltimore



 Got food and drinks at an irish pub near the harbor



 Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania.  The picture doesn't do it justice.

 Visiting Molly in the Valley Forge area.  Her house was right up the road from the park/historic site.
 Philly skyline
 Mutter museum of medical anomalies. Best museum of the trip so far.


 Eastern State Penitentiary








 Red Cross Hospital wing at the prison

 Al Capone's cell


 Unsanctioned prison art found above the door to a cell.  Amazing it's still there.
 more unsanctioned art, made to look like wood grain


 Replica of Guantanamo bay prison cell, pretty gnarly
 Controls to the cells
 Punishment cells
 The hole. Not much is known about what happened in these cells but rumor has it that they would torture the inmates in various ways.  Cells in this area were pretty dark and small.  Brutal

 Karen, Molly's mom, took us on a quick tour by car of the historic buildings in philly.  Don't really remember what they were but here are some pics of the significant ones.


 And the oldest cobblestone roads in america
 American Museum of Natural History in NYC







 Dinosaurs and aquatic life were the best exhibits




 : )

hedgehog

 sturgeon



 Guggenheim.  Coolest part was the architecture, exhibits were kinda lame but they had some Kandinsky's



 Cider

 Graffitti in Museum of Modern Art

 Loved this exhibit at MOMA, took lots of pics so bear with me if they're boring











 Lichtenstein and Clare
























 Coney Island was by far the best of NYC.  Manhattan sucked, full of yuppies and tourist.








 Rode the ferris wheel and saw the sideshow.  both were awesome, felt most at home in nyc with the freaks. they happened to have a grand opening for the coney island brewery when we were there, didn't get any pics but the beer was great.


 Otto's Shrunken Head.  Only noteworthy bar we stumbled upon in manhattan.  blue ruin was ok too.  beer was expensive everywhere!
