is an eastern state of the USA and is in fact one of the
13 original states of the USA, founded in 1634 by Lord
Baltimore. The landscape is made up of sprawling hills
and farmland with the backdrop of the Allegheny
Mountains. The state’s Atlantic Plain is divided by the
Chesapeake Bay that looks out onto the Atlantic Ocean.
Maryland is famous for its white, sandy beaches in Ocean
City, the bustling harbor of Baltimore and Chesapeake
Bay’s miles and miles of shoreline that separate the
Eastern shore of Maryland to the rest of the state, the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge links the two lands.
Annapolis is the state’s capital, home to the United
States Naval Academy; its port is also one of the ports
of call during the Volvo Ocean Race. Baltimore is
another important city, just 60 km away from Washington,
DC, with its Art Museum and American Visionary Art
Museum.

sites, this town boasts charming brick buildings and
parks, and is an excellent place to relive the regions
history.

where all the US presidents go in retreat, and although
the entrance is restricted to the white house officials,
the landscape around the area offers beautiful
landscapes at the Catoctin Mountain Park
