JEMS CONFERENCE- Arrival

I took the 11:19 train to Baltimore and arrived a little before 5. I walked a mile or so down Charles Street to the hotel. All the high-end hotels on the inner harbor near the Convention Center were booked so I got a room in this place. It is semi-flea bag, but cheap. After I check in I walk down to the Inner Harbor. It is a cold evening and I don't hang out too long. I'm still fighting a cold and the mile long walk back uphill to the hotel wears me down. If I was feeling better and was at a nice hotel, I could see sitting at a bar having some cold ones, instead I go to bed early on a mattress that nearly swallows me up the springs are so bad.
