Immediately after a 24-hour bus ride from St. Louis, I continued my crash course in American history in Baltimore, Maryland, by Chesapeake Bay where Francis Scott Key penned the lyrics of the Star-Spangled Banner. It celebrates a war victory and became the US national anthem only in 1931- a reminder of how young this nation is. I'm now staying in Broadwater Farm of the Garcias in a light-filled house that was once owned by a certain Francis Key. This morning, we caught blue crabs in Cox Creek that we'll cook tonight for a dinner with Anna, who'll be arriving from D.C.
