My new thing on August 22, 2010 started off with a ride on the water taxi that stops in Canton right outside of my house http://thewatertaxi.com/ . I love the water taxi. It's a wonderful way to get around the city and once I get a few paychecks under my belt, I think I might get a year round pass. I got off at the Fells Point stop and from there, I walked onto Little Italy. Each year, Little Italy holds two festivals (one to celebrate the start of the summer and one to celebrate the end of the summer).The Feast of St. Gabriel Italian Festival was a blast. I would have loved to be joined by some of my Italian family members. There was the smell of Italian food and raffles. Next time, I am bringing my folding chair to enjoy the music and bocce. I need to make my way back to the courts some night to play a game of my own. http://littleitalymd.com/ (Go to the website! The music is worth it!)
