The State:
Maryland, one of the original 13 States of the USA, was founded by Lord
Baltimore in 1634. Its Atlantic Plain, divided by Chesapeake
Bay, rises through the rolling hills and scenic farmland of the
States heartland to the Allegheny Mountains of the northwest.
Its tourist destinations range from the 16km (10 miles) of white, sandy
beaches at Ocean City to Baltimores bustling Inner
Harbor. Chesapeake Bays 6400km (4000 miles) of shoreline, including
its tributaries, separate the Eastern Shore area of Maryland from
the rest of the State. The twin-spanned Chesapeake Bay Bridge
is the major link between the two sections. The distance between
Baltimore and Washington, DC is only about 60km (40 miles).
