Here are my pictures from last October, when I flew down to Tampa for an Eagles game. It's taken exactly one year for me to get around to posting them, even though it only took a couple weeks for me to identify every place.
I also included pictures from ym train ride from the BWI Airport train station to Wilmington's train station. On the flight back, I did not have a window seat, so I could not take pictures. I wish I could've since we flew over some nice stuff.
For many of the pictures, I uploaded the originals, in their full size, if you want to see better details. Let me know if any of those links are dead, since I uploaded them a while ago.
