| This state is an "America in miniature". With sandy dunes and seagrass, low marshlands swarming with water snakes, the bald cypress, hills of oak forest and mountain pines, Maryland is truly beautiful. Raise the sails or visit the fishing villages when you get your much-deserved break from your universities. The rail town of Bowie takes you back to a gentler time, or you can enjoy the more dynamic pleasures in its many sophisticated cities. The universities and colleges are some the best known with some of the best centers in medicine, technology, sciences, humanities, the arts and more. |
