Next day we drove to Falling Water which is the museum of architect Frank Lloyd Wright's creation in the Allegheny Mountains. It was commissioned by a wealthy family from Pittsburgh and is located beautifully by a waterfall. Find more information at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_Water



After Falling Water we entered the trip back to Dayton, OH. Yes we did remember to stop at Salvi's for Maureen's glasses :-)

For the next day we had rented a little house in Confluence, PA about 1½ from Pittsburgh close to the next days attraction Falling Water. In Confluence we found this place called The Lucky Dog Café. However they were not lucky enough to get a piece of my burger.

The little house was right on top of a river (and some train tracks)
Here is a picture of the little house :-)

Third day in Pittsburgh was a hectic one. We started out driving over to the University of Pittsburgh and the building they call Cathedral of Learning. It is the tallest educational building in the US and the 2nd tallest in the world behind the university in Moscow.

Here is a picture from inside.
In the building they have 26 nationality rooms where architects from around the world have com in and designed rooms representing their country and culture. We walked 9 of the rooms. In the Israeli room there is a copy of the dead see scrolls.

After this we we went to the Phipps Conservatory where Sarah had booked tickets to the Chihuly exhibition. Find out more about Dave at www.chihuly.com. Basically it was a glass exhibition mixed in to the conservatory.

Dinner was booked at The Sonoma Grille, www.thesonomagrille.com, in downtown Pittsburgh.

Second day in Pittsburgh we went on some touring of the city both on land and water. We did take a boat tour that sailed on all three rivers. The Allegheny, the Ohio, and the Monongahela rivers.


The boat tour gave us some nice views of downtown and the many bridges that cross these 3 rivers.


PNC Park home of the Pittsburgh Pirates. I walked around the park and it looked very nice. It is one of the, if not the smallest parks in Major League Baseball. Unfortunately we did not have time to go to a game but you have to save something for the next visit.


On the banks of the Ohio, and the Monongahela rivers there was once 17 incline tracks. Today only 2 remain to transport you up and down the steep banks of the river. Yes, that is a Hard Rock Café sign in the bottom right corner.

Here are a couple of views over downtown from the top of one of the inclines.

First day we set out to drive to Pittsburgh. First stop was at Salvi's pasta restaurant outside Coloumbus. Great road lunch. Unfortunately Maureen forgot her glasses on the table and we had to call back and tell them we would pick them up on our way back....would we remember to stop...

We found the Hilton in Pittsburgh alright and here is the view of the bridge we came in on looking at it from our first room.


Friday we also managed to make it over to the Andy Warhol museum. He is from Pittsburgh and they had some decent exhibitions with his art. I never understood the flying silver pillows though.
