Our Trip to Pittsburgh

The U of P panther. Now that's my kind of school!


Once a teacher, always a teacher.


Horsie!!


He was a smiling little trouper all over Pittsburgh.


Benjamin and "The Hand."


What it takes to make a sandwich, and T shirts, too. We had lunch at Primanti's, a well-known Pittsburgh eatery. Your sandwiches come with french fries and coleslaw--IN the sandwich. Yummy!


This poor guy never stopped moving.

A view from Mount Washington of some bridges that traverse the Monongahela River. If this picture continued to the left, you would see the Allegheny River, and more bridges. Those two rivers combine to form the Ohio River (yes, more bridges).


A view of Pittsburgh from Mount Washington.

Another view from Mount Washington. Click on the picture to enlarge it, and in the distant background you will see the Cathedral of Learning, which is at the center of the University of Pittsburgh. At 42 stories, it is said to be the second tallest educational structure in the United States (no, I don't know--Google it).



A closer view of the Cathedral of Learning.


Heinz Stadium and the fountain at Golden Triangle Park, as seen from Mt. Washington.


Rae, Mel, and Jeremy on Mt. Washington with Pittsburgh in the background.


David, Me, and Pittsburgh.


The tallest building in this picture is the Pittsburgh Plate Glass building, made out of glass (what else?). Great mix of old and modern.


The Cathedral of Learning up close and personal.


The fountain at Point State Park viewed through a tunnel. The area is called The Golden Triangle and is where 3 rivers meet (see above). The fountain is one of the tallest in the nation and is fed by an underground (fourth) river.


Heather, Benjamin, and Mel at the fountain.


Rae and me, resting.


Heather and Benjamin in The Pillow Room at the Warhol Museum.


The Chairmen, at the Warhol Museum.


Warhol's stuffed lion. Now that's my kind of museum (see panther above)!


Some of Warhol's magazine covers.


Warhol's Marilyn.


Rae, Benjamin, Jeremy, and Heather.
