🇺🇸 My Baltimore Day Trip – A Mix of Culture & Caution 😅📸

Here’s how my one-day Baltimore adventure went: ✅ Visited Johns Hopkins University 🎓 ✅ Explored The Baltimore Museum of Art 🖼️ ✅ Ate at Blue Moon Cafe 🥞 ✅ Strolled around Inner Harbor 🌊 ✅ Saw the Last Pearl Harbor Survivor ship ⚓ ✅ Peeked at Little Italy from afar 🍝 ✅ Checked out Power Plant 🏭 ✅ Stopped by the National Aquarium (just the entrance though! 😂) 🐟 I arrived around 10 AM and left around 4 PM. After exploring Inner Harbor, I thought since Penn Station looked straight ahead, I’d walk there. 🚶‍♂️ But then… things felt off. I heard what sounded like gunshots 👂🔫, followed by police sirens 🚨. The further I walked, the more uneasy I felt — lots of people lingering around, and the atmosphere grew tense. While waiting at a crosswalk, a man about 5 meters away started waving both hands at me 👋😳. I avoided eye contact and didn’t move until the light turned green — then I literally sprinted away 🏃💨. After a few more minutes, I ducked into a bank 🏦 and called a ride to the station. Later I found out that area is known to be risky — especially for tourists. 😬 Glad I stayed safe, but wow… Baltimore downtown is no joke. #Baltimore #DayTrip #Maryland #TravelSafety #UrbanAdventure #TrueStory #StayAlert #TravelTips 🧳👀
