Pittsburgh is not so bad after all.


Took a nice day trip to Pittsburgh this past weekend and I was pleasantly surprised. It's actually a very pretty city with the three rivers and all the bridges. We got there early in the morning and walked around the market. Went to Wholly's seafood market and had some fried calamari and clams. Delicious. Then we got a coffee and did some window shopping. For lunch we wen to Primanti Brother's for their almost famous panini sandwhich and a cup of chili.

After that we went to Ikea and walked around. Got a nice little lamp and night light. Then we went back into the city and took a ride on a cable car up the Duquesne Incline. We later realized it was probably better to drive up there and save a few bucks! We also drove past another incline which we decided to call the Fuquesne Incline. It's funny when you pronounce it all loud.

We got dinner for free at Hooters at Station Square. It was obviously an area that once was hot but now was quickly becoming a ghost town. Next time we'll have to pick out a nice restaurant on Carson. I'll take any suggestions!
